Works with XML::SAX::Expat too!

It seems to be astoundingly fast. I've run Matt's benchmark.pl
and Xalan is generally 2/3/4x the throughput of LibXSLT,
which is itself slightly faster than Sablotron. But on some
test cases Xalan is 15x the throughput. This is on a Win98
machine so the meaurements are not going to be necessarily
accurate or repeatable.

The only problem was having to download a 23Mb Apache Xalan
Win32 distribution.  Wouldl it be possible to bundle the
appropriate dll's (there seem to be 12 Xalan dlls and one
Xerces dll, in total about 3Mb) into the Perl package?
