Pass Parameter to XSLT Using PERL

[Neal]

I need to know how to pass a parameter from PERL to an XSLT when using
that XSLT to transform XML. For instance, I'd like to pass a paramter
that I retrieve from the queryString and pass it into XSLT which will
create my HTML.

Here's what I have for the basic transformation:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use XML::XSLT;/

$xmlfile = "resume.xml ";
$xslfile = "resume.xsl ";

$parser = XML::XSLT->new ($xslfile);
$parser->transform($xml file);
$parser->print_result() ;

Does anyone know what I would need to pass the paramter?

Thanks.

Actually, I figured out (in theory) how to pass a parameter to an XSL.
I just added a string into the args:

$parser->transform($xml file, test => "'hello world'");

Now the problem seems to be that the XSL is ignoring it's parameters
and variables. Perhaps the parser is set to not work with these by
default or something? Man, what a pain is the ass!

Does anyone know how to get PERL to interpret variables and params in
an XSLT?

Thanks.

FYI: this newsgroup is defunct. You might want to try
comp.lang.perl. modules for this question (and comp.lang.perl. misc for
general perl questions in the future).
