Using XPointer with Perl

Dear all,

The XPointer[1] specification has been around for a long while now and I 
am supervising and working on a set of projects (BSc, MSc and PhD theses 
within my research group) which need XPointers in order to perform 
fine-grained spotting on an XML corpus of mathematical texts.

Probably recently, the Gnome project has added XPointer support for its 
libxml2 library[2] and I would really love to have that available as an 
extension to Perl's XML::LibXML. I have already developed a large 
architecture in Perl, which will act as a skeleton to the rest of the 
projects we are planning to carry out.

Is anyone aware whether such an effort has been started, or whether 
there are any alternatives? I am not sure I would be the right person to 
contribute an XPointer library to XML::LibXML and I also would really 
like to avoid changing to another programming language.

Thank you for any information and hints!

Greetings,
Deyan
