Hello Monks,

I have an XSLT stylesheet which helps me to convert XML to HTML.

I want to execute this stylesheet through perl. When I run it on Stylus Editor It works fine without any error.

I tried using XML::XSLT and my code looks like:

use XML::XSLT;

my $xsl="main.xsl";
my $xmlfile="main.xml";



 my $xslt = XML::XSLT->new ($xsl, warnings => 1);

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

 $xslt->dispose();

and my XSLT file "main.xsl" looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:f="http://www.w3schools.com/furniture">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ANSI_X3.4-1986"/>

<xsl:template match="chapter">
<html>

<body>
<div class="chap-title"><xsl:value-of select="f:title"/></div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="f:sections"/>
<!--<xsl:apply-templates select="f:bibliography"/>-->
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>




<xsl:template match="f:section/f:section-title">
<div class="hd1"><br></br><xsl:value-of select="."/></div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:sections/f:section/f:para/text()">
<!--<xsl:apply-templates/>-->
<div class="para1"><xsl:value-of select="."/></div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:section/f:section/f:section-title">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:variable name="level">0</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="//f:list">
      <xsl:variable name="val">
     <xsl:number  value="position()"/>
     </xsl:variable>    
    <xsl:call-template name="recursive">
     <xsl:with-param name="f:list"/>
     
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="recursive" match="//f:list">

  <xsl:for-each select="f:list-item">
        <xsl:value-of select="/f:para"/><br></br>
         <div class="lt1"></div>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:section/f:section/f:section/f:section/f:section
+-title">
<div class="hd3"><xsl:value-of select="."/></div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:sections/f:section/f:section/f:section/f:sectio
+n/f:section-title">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="f:sections/f:section/f:section/f:section/f:sectio
+n-title">
<div class="hd4"><br></br><xsl:value-of select="."/></div>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

When i run my pl from command prompt i get following error:

 Can't call method "createDocumentFragment" on an undefined value at C
+:/Perl/site
/lib/XML/XSLT.pm line 766.

I dont understand what can be the problem..I tried searching a lot and probably it is in my xsl file. What can the possible error?

Also like We have toString method is there any method which I can use to create output file? Thanks
