Hello,
This is my first post on Perl Monks. Basically, my problem is with the XML::XSLT perl module. I have the following code: 
use strict;
use XML::XSLT;

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

open (XSL, "blog.xsl");
my $xslFile = "";
while(<XSL>) { 
    $xslFile .= $_; 
}
close(XSL);

#my $xslFile = get("blog.xsl") || die qq(No feed "blog.xsl": $!);

my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new ($xslFile); #, warnings => 1, debug => 1) or
+ die qq(Something Happened);

my $xmlFile = "";
open (XML, "posts.xml");

while(<XML>) { 
    $xmlFile .= $_; 
}
close(XML);

#print $xslt->serve $xmlFile;

$xslt->transform ($xmlFile);
print $xslt->toString;

$xslt->dispose();

Which produces the following error when run:

no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187

I have tried everything. The contents of the $xmlFile and $xslFile are all there (ie: there isn't a problem filling these vars with content). Processing these two files with Xalan takes less than a second and produces exactly what I want. The reason I can't use Xalan is because my web host only has XML::XSLT available. Thanks for the help.
