	Have you considered using XML::Simple? It's not XPath-based, but it seems to 
be doing exactly what you are looking for:

	use XML::Simple;
	use Data::Dumper;
	undef $/;

	my $parser = XML::Simple-> new;
	my $xml = $parser-> XMLin( <DATA>, KeyAttr => 'Id' );

	print Dumper( $xml );

	__DATA__
	<CompanyData> 
	<Owner> Joe Smith</Owner>
	...


Joy,
