aquarium has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i'm finding it impossible to find a XSLT perl module precompiled for win32 (for ActiveState Perl 5.6 or 5.8). Is it out there?...or is a equivalent perl module (compiled) available? Am wanting to take XML and a stylesheet, and produce HTML. Please help.

    Try pointing PPM here 5.8 or 5.6.

      both repositories do not have XML::XSLT.....They do have XML::LibXSLT, but that's even harder to get going on Win32, as it's an interface to gnome xslt library. i don't want to build a spaceship just to transform xml and stylesheet to html.

        XML::XSLT is straight Perl, you could copy the XSLT.pm into, say, C:\perl\lib\site_perl\XML (you would have to check your @INC for the correctg location) and it will work (as long as you have XML::DOM installed - and I think there is a PPM package for that. Alternatively if you have a copy of nmake (which you get from http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe) then you can just do the normal install as described in the README.

      xml::gxml looks much more productive....will give that a try
