Can someone recommend a good perl module for XSL transformations other

Hum, libxslt is very portable. What platform did you get problems
with ? perl is C code, so is libxml2/libxslt, and I doubt there is
much more platform constraints on my side than on perl side.
I shoud have been more specific about my situation, platform-independant isn't
exactly what I meant. My personal server is a Linux box which I run
XML::LibXSLT on without a problem, but I also rent web space on a Solaris
server which I don't have shell access to and can't compile the C for it
which is why I need a pure perl module. LibXSLT apparently requires
LibXML::Common::Common.so to run which is my limitation (the ELF data format
Solaris requires is different than Linux so I can't simply build it on my
end, unless this is a mistake or there is a way around it that I don't know
about.)
I've toyed with XML-XSLT, but it's slow and is not a full implementation of
the W3M XSLT specification.

A good alternative to consider is sablotron. Its available at
www.gingerall.com. I think its now r1.0 compliant. It can run on the
command line as sabcmd or via a perl module.
I haven't tried sablotron. Does the perl module require any binaries to run
like I mentioned above with LibXML?
