Templating TPL (embed perl code into XSLT)

Trina

Does anyone know how to embed Perl code into XSLT?
For example: expected result: <a href="home/subdir/welcome.htm">Home</a>

perl code
$link_path = "home/subdir";

xslt code
<xsl:stylesheet>
.......
<a><xsl:attribute name="href">home/subdir(should be shown here)</xsl:attribute>welcome.htm</a>
..........</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks in advance

You can pass a parameter into a stylesheet and use it. You would first define the parameter in the stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  version="1.0">
<!-- PARAMETERS -->
<xslaram name="link_path" />
....

Then pass the parameter through the XSL Parser. I'm not familiar with this technique in PERL, but with MSXML you use something like this:

xslProc.addParameter("link_path","home/subdir");

Then just use the parameter in the stylesheet:

<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value select="$link_path" /></xsl:attribute>welcome.htm</a>

Again, I'm not familar with passing in parameters from PERL, but I'm sure it is available in some XSL module.
