There was an interesting article written by Kip Hampton on xml.com about Simple XML Validation with Perl

You may also want to look at Xerces Perl from the The Apache XML Project

Here is what they say on the Xerces Perl home page:
The Xerces Perl project has created a Perl module, Xerces.pm, as the Perl API to the Apache project's Xerces XML parser. It is implemented using the Xerces C++ API, and it provides access to all of the C++ API from Perl. Because it is based on Xerces-C, Xerces.pm provides a validating XML parser that makes it easy to give your application the ability to read and write XML data. A shared library is provided for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents. Xerces.pm is faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and associated standards ( DOM 1.0, DOM 2.0. SAX 1.0, SAX 2.0, Namespaces), The parser provides high performance, modularity, and scalability. Source code, samples and API documentation are provided with the parser.
