Hi,

I am looking into doing dynamic form generation from xml documents. I know I will have to validate xml forms based on the associated xml schemas. I was wondering if there's a perl module available that does it.

I am using ActivePerl 5.8 on Windows. There's XML::Validator::Schema module available via PPM. I tried it, but it doesn't have any support for namespaces in the current version and I do need the namespace support. There's XML::Xerces available for Perl on Unix/Linux systems that fully supports the XML Schema standard, but it is not available as a package for ActivePerl.

What are my choices, do I have to get the source code for XML::Xerces and compile it for my Windows system? I don't have any experience doing that and I wonder how hard it would be to do. If it were easy, someone would have already ported it to Windows. I looked online and it seems like an ancient version of XML::Xerces (1.5) had been ported to Windows, but I can't seem to find any perl package repository that has it.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Alex
