I don't think they have a latch. At least, my 94 doesn't, and I've never seen a Cherokee in the junkyard with a latch.

To open mine, I just push in on the left side of the gas door.

Had the same issue when I bought mine.. I sat at the gas station for 5 minutes looking at it before figuring it out. It took me a while to find this forum, but it has been a godsend. Use it ofyen and be thankful for the answers you find.
