Dunno about a perl module, but emacs' psgml library invokes `nsgmls -s sample.xml`, which might help Originally posted as a Categorized Answer.	[reply] [d/l]

There is a pure XSL(T) answer: the Schematron. It's an XSLT stylesheet; you run it on the DTD, and this produces a second stylesheet, which is a validator for the DTD. You run that on your XML to validate it.	[reply]
