transform XML to XML

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Which module should I use for transforming an XML document to another XML document? i.e a field in the first document is differently named in the second document, or it can have extra attributes etc

Is that a job for XSLT? The examples I've seen transform from XML to HTML etc but not from XML to XML

XML::Twig is geared for converting XML to a different XML document, and there also is XML::Rules (which I haven't used). You can use XSLT, but personally I found that XSLT becomes a giant hassle when the structures of two documents wildly differ and you need to "remember" information for later use, something which is trivial in Perl.

I often use XML::XSH2, a wrapper around XML::LibXML, but maybe it's just me. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
