This doesn't answer your question directly, but I think it is relevant nevertheless.

Actually, this is a job for XSLT, the XML transformation language. The idea is that one describes a transformation of XML into "something else" which can be either XML, HTML, plain text, basically whatever you like.

If the XSLT modules on CPAN are worth their salt, they should be quite efficient, so maybe this is an occasion not to reinvent the wheel ;-)

XSLT is a W3C standard since a couple of years now, so the technology is quite mature.

Hope this helps, -gjb-

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
