Perl XSLT module?

[antroy]

Hi all,

What is considered the best Perl module for performing XSLT
transformations? I am looking to write a perl CGI script for
transforming some XML into HTML on the fly using XSLT.

Thanks,

Look into XML::LibXSLT and XML::Sablotron (there's also XML::XSLT, but it's
incomplete and hasn't been touched in a long time).

I have had a look at these, and it appears that they are both wrappers
around C programs. Are there any native perl XSLT transformers available
in a better state than XML::XSLT which doesn't have enough functionality
for my requirements?

The trouble is that the server I need to install the modules on (i.e.
the location of my cgi script) is controlled by someone else, and
getting them to install the C programs required will be nigh on impossible.

Maintaing a full featured-XSLT engine is no mean feat. I doubt there
are going to be many people falling over themselves to create a _second_
Pure perl one when development of the first already lacks motivation due
to te fact that there are prefectly good Perl bindings to existing
open-source projects.

If there are features missing in XML::XSLT have you considered adding
them? (Either yourself of by supporting someone else to do so).

Peraps there may be an command line XSLT engine already installed that
you could use via system().
