Re: generating attributes and content for an element

Yeah, that was going to be my suggestion, if you use XML::LibXML then take a
look at XML::LibXSLT as well. It has been a LONG while since I installed
those on Windows though (and my company is actually sans MS!!!) so off the
top of my head all I can tell you is that it is certainly possible to
install those modules on Windows. The only part I'm not 100% sure about
actually is getting libxml installed, once you do that either PPM with
activestate perl or CPAN with regular old perl windows build will do the
perl part with no problem.

http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/ appears to have binaries of the DLLs
for libxml and libxslt2, check it out ;) Bit more work to get started but
you get bog standard XML processing capabilities out of it.

And personlly I second the 'use XSLT' idea. Again it is a bit more learning
curve to start, but if you do this kind of thing at all often, XSLT is a lot
easier way to go than fudging around in any standard language, plus you can
always run the transform on ANY compliant engine.
