XML-LibXSLT (1.57)

The fastest and most compliant XSLT library I could find for Perl.

XML-LibXSLT (1.58)

Fast, compliant and built on a well trusted base of libxslt, if there's nothing stopping you from building it on your platform of choice then this is the XSLT processor to use.

XML-LibXSLT (1.58)

Fails to build with Solaris 8, Google search indicates this is not an issolated problem. I believe it has something to do with the cludge on executing external programs as the Conftest.so (which does not initially exist and is deleted before the script finished) is not found for loading. Quote the author:

"Functions
- these shoudl really be in MakeMaker... But &shrug;"

libxslt not found
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line
Or get libxslt and libxml2 from
http://www.libxml.org/
If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel
RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.
