How can I generate an XML using Perl and XSLT?

I want to generate an XML file using Perl and XSLT. Is it possible to achieve this by updating the XSLT dynamically by uusing values from a hash?

Or is there any better solution for wirting a simple XML file using Perl?

XSLT is not for generating XML, it is merely for transforming XML. There's a comparison of the XML interfaces available to Perl on O'Reily's XML site

The answer is "It depends" but generally "Simple" XML can be printed directly from Perl data structiures using XML::Simple module's XMLOut.

For more complicated use XML::Writer.

You can read more on handling of XML in Perl (including printing it) in Perl and XML O'Reilly book - for examples see Chapter 3 online (XML::Writer part): http://oreilly.com/catalog/perlxml/chapter/ch03.html

Also look at Perl-XML FAQ: http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/
