Quoting from the first sentence of the XSLT W3C Rec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt):

"This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT, which is a
language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents."

So yes, XSLT should be the right thing for you.

Btw, The Perl-XML FAQ describes how to easily set-up binary modules like
XML::LibXSLT for ActiveState Perl on Win32:
http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#win32_ppm
