to be precise; you are seeking a perl module which uses an underlying XML parser (this is usually something like expat).

as with anything, depends on what you want to do.... are you massaging data ? or are you interpreting an XML file and want to 'do' something ; if the later then you may want to use a streaming parser e.g. XML::LibXML.

Personally, I find XML::STX to be quite interesting http://www.gingerall.org/stx.html

As for converting XML to HTML, this is a different problem;

You might find using XML::LibXSLT is all you will ever need .... at the other end of the scale ... you could probably just use HTML Tidy to convert.

If you are massaging a lot of data and working in web domain, XSLT is a good route to go down.

here are some rather old links to perl and XML;
