You are right. Sadly Perl does not provide all encodings :-(
The README in Perls encoding directory states the following:
This directory contains binary encoding maps for some selected encodings.If they are placed in a directoy listed in @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path,then they are automaticly loaded by the XML::Parser::Expat::load_encoding function as needed. Otherwise you may load what you need directly by explicity calling this function. These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS.
With this information at hand I searched Google and found a windows-1252.xml file that I copied and manually edited to describe the windows-1253 codepage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1253). Here are the two files. Try to use them. Perhaps you will have better luck. If it still fails generating the proper characters, please check the windows-1253.xml file. I could be possible that I made a mapping error.

We have to deal with two problems:1.) different encodings: This one should be solved with the encoding attribute, but while playing with this, I had still problems to output characters that are allowed in one codepage, but discouraged by the XML standard. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets where some characters, that are still allowed in the the windows-1252 codepage, are discouraged in XML. esp. most of the characters in the band [x80-x9f].[snip]Please have a look at your generated xml file from the names.dat and check which character is the problematic one.Done. The culprit is a 0x92 character (reverse single apostrophe). It seems like 8859-7 is not the right encoding. Instead, "windows-1253" supports that particular character. Unfortunately, using that I get this:Couldn't open encmap windows-1253.enc: No such file or directory at /PerlApp/XML/Parser.pm line 187It seems the like the proper encoding mapping file is not included in the exe.Second: your output shows, that you have a missing ParserDetails.Ini file. Please check a previous mail thread "Idiots' guide to setting up a perl environment for vss2svn?". There is a sample ParserDetails file:Perhaps you didn't notice, but I'm using the exe. So, I guess it's also an exe generation problem. Thanks a bunch.
