Sure, XML::XSLT would do this for most XSLT stylesheets, however if you
are finding Saxon slow it is likely you are going to find this module
even slower - particularly on large xml files - as it is written
entirely in Perl.

If you are looking for a Perl module that is likely to be quicker than
Saxon you might want to to look at XML::LibXSLT which in some benchmarks
I have seen does seem to be a lot quicker.
