Hi Pavel,
Last night, after twiddling some stuff and relocating sablot.log
to /tmp/sablot.log it worked! ;-)
(Is there a way to set this location using the perl interface?)
I'm going to try to get rid of all the perror() statements and see if it was
something I did regarding file permissions. I'll post it here. I think all
it'll be is char *foo = 0; in Sablot.xs
I really *really* like the idea of a real, non-java, XSLT processor for unix
platforms that is fairly painless to install. It's exactly what XML needs
right now. You folks have done a real service to the XML community.
