I hear you saying that modification of XML data with XSL is not really modification at all, but modification with Perl is bad. Seems somewhat unusual.
Sorry you've had problems with scripting languages. I happen to be a professional software developer, and despite some current disillusionment with Java hype, I'll use anything that works. Past 2 years it was all J2EE and XML; I am working on a contract right now that is MS SQL Server, VC++ and ASPs. I could care less - the day I start imposing my language preferences on a solution is the day I should look for other work. And in fact I did not understand your argument.
