I was asked to develop a standard multi-user application (entering/editing data, some reporting, etc). I was going to do it in "usual" way: CGI application using a template system (such as Text::Template, HTML::Template). But my client wanted it to be done with XML/XSLT. I have found a node about Perl Application Servers (78609), and I want to ask you: is there any news on the subject? Any other projects supporting XML/XSLT?

Or probably there is another approach, without Application Server? Say, does it make sense to prepare XML file, use it as a template, and then apply some transformation to it to convert it to HTML? Any advice is welcome.
