Right now, I am doing the SQL generation with XML::LibXML, a DOM
parser for Perl. Works like a charm!

But the main reason I went that route is to learn X::LX, which I have
not used before (I usually go for XML::Simple, but I needed something
beefier for this project). XSLT is The Right Way to do things, and my
XML should make this pretty easy.
