Hi monks, when I need a simple solution, this is the place! So I have 2 files - style.xsl and testxml.pl testxml.pl 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use XML::LibXSLT;
use XML::LibXML;

my $s = "
<files>
  <file>
    <name>file_test1</name>
    <subject>subject1</subject>
    <userprop>
      <nameprop>Color</nameprop>
      <valueprop>Blue</valueprop>
    </userprop>
    <userprop>
      <nameprop>Texture</nameprop>
      <valueprop>Coarse</valueprop>
    </userprop>
  </file>
  <file>
    <name>file_test2</name>
    <subject>subject2</subject>
    <userprop>
      <nameprop>Color</nameprop>
      <valueprop>Blue</valueprop>
    </userprop>
  </file>
</files>";

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

  my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
  my $xslt = XML::LibXSLT->new();

  my $source = $parser->parse_string($s);
  my $style_doc = $parser->parse_file('style.xsl');
  my $stylesheet = $xslt->parse_stylesheet($style_doc);
  my $results = $stylesheet->transform($source);
  print $stylesheet->output_string($results);

style.xsl 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="html"/>

  <xsl:template match="file">
    <br/><b>name</b>:      <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/>
    <br/><b>subject</b>:      <xsl:apply-templates select="summary/sub
+ject"/>

    <xsl:text>
    </xsl:text>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I am able to run the above fine. But what if I want to output all the "textures only" for each file, is there a neat way of doing it ?
