XML files compare

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

Hi monks, Is there any best way to check given two XML files are same or not. Contents in two XML will be same but shuffled,say for example Input1.xml:

<Job>
<Category>Engineer</Category>
<Description>SystemsEngineer</Description>
</JobId>
<JobId>
<Category>Cook</CategoryCode>
<Description>Chef</Description>
</JobId>
[download]

Input2.xml

<JobId>
<Category>Cook</CategoryCode>
<Description>Chef</Description>
</JobId>
<Job>
<Category>Engineer</Category>
<Description>SystemsEngineer</Description>
</JobId>
[download]

Input1.xml and Input2.xml are same though content shuffled. Please help me
