Malformed XML is the bane of RSS. According to Mark Pilgrim about 10% of typical RSS feeds are malformed*, indeed the UK IT publication The Register has usable XML for only a few days in a given month. You will find a wide range of problems that will cause XML::Parser the core of XML::RSS to explode:
In this node "How do I clean RSS feeds to make them usable?", Matts suggested his rssmirror, the guts of which are now included in both XML::RSS and XML::RSS::Tools. I became so annoyed with bad XML in RSS feeds that I wrote XML::RSS::Tools to deal with the problems I found, which led to brian d foy taking over XML::RSS fixing a lot of it's problems, and with time designing a whole new version.
