Revered monks,

XML::Saxon::XSLT2 is, as far as could see, the only Perl module on CPAN which processes stylesheets written in XSLT 2.0. It is therefore the module to use, if one wants to take advantage of the XSLT 2.0 stylesheets provided by the TEI Consortium for the transformation of xml-files structured according to the TEI Convention (http://www.tei-c.org/Tools/Stylesheets). Being the result of a decade's work and experience with TEI xml, the use of these stylesheets in a Perl environment seems quite advisable.

Users of Ubuntu 14+ are in the privileged position to simply install http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/perl/libxml-saxon-xslt2-perl. For the time being, I am on a Ubuntu 12 server and I am stuck with the error given below.

As the earlier error reports here (and the documentation of XML::Saxon::XSLT2) point out, one has to make sure that the module Inline::Java is installed and that the file saxonhe9.jar is present in, e.g., the directory /usr/share/java. After a good day's work, I am very sure about these two requirements. Still, my script stops in the last line given below.


    use XML::Saxon::XSLT2;
    use Inline::Java;     # not necessary 

    my $xml_file  = "/some/defintely/existing/file.xml"; 
    my $xslt_file = "/another/definetly/existing/file.xsl";

    open(my $input, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $xml_file) or die $!;
    open(my $xslt, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $xslt_file ) or die $!;

      my $trans  = XML::Saxon::XSLT2->new($xslt);

I am getting the following errror:

    Can't locate object method "new" 
    via package "XML::Saxon::XSLT2::Transformer" 
    (perhaps you forgot to load 
    "XML::Saxon::XSLT2::Transformer"?) at 
    /usr/local/share/
    perl/5.14.2/XML/Saxon/XSLT2.pm line 53, <$xslt> line 1.'

[download]

The module XML::Saxon::XSLT2::Transformer doesn't exist. XSLT2.pm, line 53 reads:

    return bless { 'transformer' => XML::Saxon::XSLT2::Transformer->new($xslt) }, $class;

I would be very grateful for any idea about what could be wrong. SERVER_SOFTWARE : Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu). The permissons of /usr/share/java/saxonhe9.jar are: -rwxr-xr-x

Thank you!
