    First of all, thanks to all colleagues for your helpful feedback!

    XML::Twig does work, but it doesn't preserve the order of attributes.

    I'm well aware that the order of attributes is typically not significant, as the content doesn't change. In my case, this is an issue because indentation is a preparatory step before diffing so that there would be a large number of false diffs caused by a changed order of attributes. What could I do?

    Besides that XML entities in attribute values are simply deleted (and I could not use UTF-8 in my environment).
