XSL-handler
Is there some form of XSL-module for mod-perl?
I want to send some XML as a response to the Apache-server and then have it
picked up by an Apache module that uses an XSL-template to render it in HTML
or WML based on the original URL. Is that possible?

The internal interface would not dispose of DOMs on its own
when appropriate before, and now the OO interface gives the
developer hooks to call dispose on the internal result DOM
generated by the transformation.
Also, there seems to have been some other large mem leak plugged
in the past couple months, probably from changing some copy node
behaviors &/or disposing of them properly, such that the process
of just running the transformations barely leaks at all, and should
be fine for use under persistent mod_perl.

There is no DOM memory garbage collection (you have to manually call
dispose() on the DOM tree) - is that why it's production ready?

If you want my latest .19 dev Apache::ASP with XSLT built-in,
just ask and I'll send it over. With
PerlSetVar XSLT $file.xsl
specified Apache::ASP runs XML files as ASP scripts, and then
uses XML::XSLT to transform the XML output with the XSL file.
With PerlSetVar XSLTCacheSize specified, XSLT transformations
will be cached with Tie::Cache, for a huge speedup on XML
output that is unchanging. The XSLT DOM is cached regardless.
I have heard complaints about XML::XSLT, but since I have
been working with Geert on the module these past months,
it has increased in rendering speed by a factor of 3,
there is a real OO interface, and DOM memory garbage
collection is production worthy.
Let me know if you'd like to test things out. The only
thing missing is adequate documentation.

I have only read the source, but asp2php has an additional program
asp2perl that might be used to get a first cut of a translation into
Apache::ASP. I have the feeling that it was written for ActiveState's
implementation.

No. It does not use visual basic. It uses Perl. Otherwise, all of
the same concepts are there: Application, Session, Request and
Response objects, etc.

What issues?

Hi,
Does anyone is using this module?
Is it full compatible with IIS for asp pages?
And what about security, is there any issue?
Thanks,

My problem with this is, I'd like to add dependencies to at least one of
the XSLT parser modules to the MakeMaker parameters. Unfortunately
XML::XSLT seems broken in this regard for some reason beyond me, and
XML::Sablot isn't on CPAN, it's just on www.gingerall.com. As soon as
XML::XSLT puts out 0.22, I'll probably release another AxKit to CPAN.

If I may, I'd suggest you send out as much of the new versions to CPAN
as possible. People might become confised if they don't find the
current version on CPAN. The 0.91/0.92 seems pretty stable for me.
Just my $0.02.
Yours,

Don't go to cpan yet - any version below 0.90 contains a deprecated
API. I'll be uploading a newer version to CPAN once I'm happy with the
examples and documentation (read: not yet). And axkit.org should come
online fairly soon once I update the documentation and things.

Have a look at AxKit. It does what you are looking for and quite a bit more.
http://xml.sergeant.org/axkit/
Or visit a CPAN nearest you for a slightly dated version.
