What I mean by post processing is for a tag like this
<my:tag>
some HTML
<% # ASP code block %>
</my:tag>
The &my::tag() sub executes after the contained HTML & ASP
do, so that its $HTML in $_[1] is static output from the
wrapped ASP/HTML. You don't get any function executing
as a preprocessor when the tag begins.

This is what happens, yes.

Yes, a compile time type of XMLSubs would be able to do neat
tricks by inserting ASP logic into the script.

I would suggest looking also at using XML::Simple for some
easy XML parsing. I have used it a couple times, and its
really great.
Also, the 2.21 Apache::ASP just released has a really mature
XSLT implementation if you want to go that route.

A compile time deal would just be able to add ASP code to the script
instead of dealing with things at runtime. I don't know if it would
be useful for what you are doing, I was just going off on what ifs.

Cool, my OSS conference presentation showed ASP use for things just
like this with the XMLSubs, email me if you want the slides in PDF,
which I'll likely post online at some point.
Later,
