ant++ for code generation, only in perl.

I am contemplating writting a module ( or two ), and thought it wise to run my thoughts past a wider audience, on the very likley chance that I am stepping on familiar ground.

Basically I want to write a system of linking multiple stylesheets, and controlling the flow of xml documents between them, in order to generate code for different platforms from sets of source documents.

Kind of like Axkits xsl pipeline system, but more complex, and ( primarily ) for offline use.



I've already put a fair bit of thought into this, and preliminary investigations indicate that there isn't a great deal out there in this problem space.

I've seen the following projects which are java based, but still see merit in writting a perl variant, should one not already exist

( personally to date I've used perl and XML::LibXSLT to generate them and see merit in formalising the common elements to shave off cruft ).

It might be worth posting your question to the Perl-XML mailing list. The traffic levels are fairly low but I know there are some XLST freaks hanging out there. :-)
