XPath '//cat[not(@meow)]' will identify such nodes.
XML::LibXML example:
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML qw( );
my $xml = <<'__EOI__';
<root>
<cat tail='text' meow='text'/>
<cat tail='text' meow=''/>
<cat tail='text'/>
<dog tail='text' bark='text'/>
</root>
__EOI__
my $doc = XML::LibXML->new()->parse_string($xml);
my $root = $doc->documentElement();
for my $node ($root->findnodes('//cat[not(@meow)]')) {
$node->setAttribute(meow => 'default');
}
print $doc->toString();
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<cat tail="text" meow="text"/>
<cat tail="text" meow=""/>
<cat tail="text" meow="default"/>
<dog tail="text" bark="text"/>
</root>
Or if you prefer, $node->parentNode()->removeChild($node); would remove the offending node.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
