Thank you.Can anyone explain XPath more?
I was advised to use "XML::LibXSLT::xpath_to_string" in the following code.
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new(); my $xslt = XML::LibXSLT->new();
my $source = $parser->parse_file($xmlfile); my $style_doc = $parser->parse_file($xslfile);
my $stylesheet = $xslt->parse_stylesheet($style_doc);
my $results = $stylesheet->transform($source, XML::LibXSLT::xpath_to_string(args => "$in{'args'}",value => "$value", cnt => "1",);
print $stylesheet->output_string($results);

1.Why XSLT is actually used?and what it is exactly?
XSLT is a language, which can transform an XML input (with XSLT 2.0, we can take a Text input as well) to various kinds of outputs (like XML, HTML and Text).
2.I am using XPATH to pass arguments in my perl code.
What is XPATH?and what is its significance?
XPath is a language to address parts of the XML document. In XPath, we write expressions, which return a set of nodes (called sequences in XPath 2.0). Though XPath can be used standalone, but it is usually used in combination with a language like XSLT or XQuery. XSLT and XQuery *need* XPath.
3. <xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> Why this is
required at start of every XSL file?
An XSLT program file is an XML file. By using this namespace in a XSLT file, we can distinguish between XSLT language instructions and non-XSLT elements/attributes.
