Not directly, no. But you could try to install XML::Twig (or one of the other good ones) and try to adapt the recipe. Even an eval around an XML::Simple::XMLin() might work. I don't recommend the module but if you've got it already...

I'm no expert on Win installs but you could try to install the C lib for libxml before trying to install the Perl modules. Might be the only problem. There is some really good work lately with Strawberry Perl to make Perl behave more like it does on other OSes. If you don't have it, try it maybe(?).
