If im appearing obtuse I appologise in advance; this is a bit of a challenge; nay a logic puzzle...

Given

action.pl?ref=a%20link&ref2=ref3&ref3=someaction

and the axml string:

<link action="<qd><qd arg="(qd)ref3(/qd)">ref2</qd></qd>">[qd]ref[/qd]
+</link>

[download]

How could one obtain the result:
<a href="action.pl?action=someaction">a link</a>

[download]

using conventional cpan modules? And before you say it, I know this little puzzle is both stupid and useless, its just a little example of aXML blasphemic weirdness, and it parses correctly on my current implementation of aXML.

I'm still holding out hope that 1) someone might say hey that approach is interesting enough to get involved with the implementation of. 2) someone might have an idea which keeps the power of aXML and bridges the gap between it and existing standards. I'm afraid I simply don't know enough about cpan modules to bridge this gap myself... currently.
