Assuming I've got the same version of the structure.rdf.u8 file as  
you, rapper would have helped you track down the issue. The problem  
has nothing to do with how you're calling the code from perl and  
everything to do with the fact that the DMOZ "RDF" is broken. The RDF  
root node of the file should look like this:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"  ...>

Including all the other xmlns declarations. Obviously, the closing tag  
needs to be updated, too.

After that, the only thing rapper complains about is some unicode  
normalization warnings, but it's able to parse everything and return  
12499869 triples.

Hope that helps,
