RE: how does it fit in with the web

Given the second option (document is rendered on the client side). How does
one actually specify to use a style sheet? I was initially guessing that the
web page is simply directed to the xml file and the rest is done for you. 
However, many style sheets may apply to one document type, and it seems
there must be some standard way of telling the web browser which style sheet
to use. So how do you actually specify a style sheet when viewing an xml
document?

I think approach 1 is most common. Another possibility, which you don't
mention, is that the web browser has an XSL processor that understands XSL
formatting objects, it downloads the XML file and renders it according to
the corresponding XSL stylesheet. This approach doesn't use HTML at all. 

There is a perl implementation of XSL mentioned at
http://www.xmlsoftware.com/xsl/
I don't know how complete and up to date it is, but you can take a look!

I am very new to XSL and XML and don't quite understand how it fits in with
the web?
Is it intended that 
1. an XSL processor sits on the server end, and generates html files? Or
2. the web browser has an XSL processor, and so it downloads the XML file
and corresponding XSL style sheet and generates the html itself?

Does anyone know of any perl implementations of an XSL processor?
