It could be a nice tool to package, for those who cannot learn XSL without a brain transplant (like me). It is free (Perl licence) and relies on stuff which seems already packaged.

That's why I built my gxml2html program. It doesn't try to solve all the world's problems like XSLT, but it's _way_ better than state variables and hard-coded HTML translations. Instead it uses templates with variables that get filled in with document attributes, supports recursive templates, and generally makes it very easy to publish HTML sites from a pile of XML documents. Here's the link: http://multipart-mixed.com/xml/ I use it for all the web sites I'm doing now, and I've been very happy with it. I like to hand-code my HTML and not rely on "intelligent" code generators since they usually product crap. As such, hand-coding my templates is a _good_ thing. I was pretty disappointed with stuff I was finding on the net to map XML entities into chunks of HTML -- most had their HTML hard-coded and weren't generic at all -- so I built my own generic translator on top of XML::Parser.
