>From the doc:

parseropts => [ XML::Parser Options ] (in) (don't use this)
           Note: This option is now officially deprecated.  If you find it
           useful, email the author with an example of what you use it  for.

           Use this option to specify parameters that should be passed to  the
           constructor of the underlying XML::Parser object (which of  course
           assumes you're not using SAX).

try the ErrorContext option

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use XML::Simple;
$XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER= 'XML::Parser';

my $s= XMLin( \*DATA, parseropts => [ ErrorContext => 1]);

__DATA__
<doc>
  <foo>text</foo1>
</doc>
