How about something like this... 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

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

my $xml = q{<doc.body>
<head n="1">Introduction</head>
<para>para 1</para>
<para>para 2</para>

<head n="2">Individual</head>
<para>para 1</para>
<para>para 2:
<list listtype="bull">
<item>item 1</item>
<item>2</item>
</list>
</para>

</doc.body>
};


my $xslt_stylesheet = q{<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

  <xsl:template match="/doc.body">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="head">TX <h3><xsl:apply-templates/></h3>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="para">TX <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="list">TX <ol><xsl:apply-templates/></ol>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="list/item"><li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
};


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

my $style_doc   = $parser->parse_string( $xslt_stylesheet );
my $source      = $parser->parse_string( $xml );

my $stylesheet  = $xslt->parse_stylesheet( $style_doc );
my $results     = $stylesheet->transform( $source );

my $output      = $stylesheet->output_string( $results );

print $output;
