You can actually still use Xalan from Perl if you want, XML::Xalan, you just need to install it...

XML::LibXSLT is an excellent choice. Firts off you will need to install the back-end libraries from XML Soft, you will need libxml2 and libxslt. You can compile from source, or download a binary - you don't say what platform you are using, so that may or may not be easy.

Once you have the two libraries installed and working okay, you can build an link the Perl modules. You will need XML::LibXML first, then you can install XML::LibXSLT. I think you may also need XML::Namespacesupport, XML::LibXML::Common and XML::SAX - but it's all explained in the docs.

If you are on a decent platform, you should be able to pull all the bits in as binaries, directly as debs, rpms, or what ever your vendor provides. If you are on ActiveState/Windows, then there are PPMs available too.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
