Re: XML::Saxon::XSLT2

Yeah, there's nothing slow or buggy about Java XML processing. Nothing
really slow or buggy about Java stuff in general, it is just not nearly as
easy to slap something together quickly like it is in perl. Once it works it
works well. OTOH I too would look at Inline::Java warily. TBH if you're
going to be going that way anyhow it probably makes more sense to just write
a java application. If the main goal is to run stuff through XSLT perl isn't
adding a whole lot and there are extensive Java libraries and frameworks for
that.
