I shoud have been more specific about my situation, platform-independant isn't 
exactly what I meant.  My personal server is a Linux box which I run 
XML::LibXSLT on without a problem, but I also rent web space on a Solaris 
server which I don't have shell access to and can't compile the C for it 
which is why I need a pure perl module.  LibXSLT apparently requires 
LibXML::Common::Common.so to run which is my limitation (the ELF data format 
Solaris requires is different than Linux so I can't simply build it on my 
end, unless this is a mistake or there is a way around it that I don't know 
about.)

I've toyed with XML-XSLT, but it's slow and is not a full implementation of 
the W3M XSLT specification.

I haven't tried sablotron.  Does the perl module require any binaries to run 
like I mentioned above with LibXML?
