Subject: http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather= may return invalid UTF-8 on occasion
You could try e.g. http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Patras%2C%20Greece to see that XML::Simple rightfully chokes. My fix was to ``use Encode();'' and ``Encode::decode_utf8($xml, Encode::FB_DEFAULT);'' before it goes through XML::Simple. (Of course feel free to add eval()s as necessary to keep it working under pre 5.8.x perls).

This is fixed in version 0.02. I hope the solution is a correct one (the output will be, of course, different on systems with Encode() or not)
