It's not so much a style sheet problem, most of the problem relates to the perl modules. They are non-standard, having been developed specifically for this one task... Not knowing perl, I don't really understand what they are all about, and the 'Manual' is as useful as a chocolate tea-pot.

Not even the original developers of the system will help me on this.. all they said was think of the receiving server code, and reverse it as it does the opposite job to what i'm trying to do (it receives XML requests, processes them and posts an XML repsonse).

Damn developers, what can't they use a real language like PHP!

I'm having a play with C# now, got the Visual C# Express download from Microsoft. Simple enough, even installed windows 2003 server to test it out! Sadly, though, I can't get MS SQL express to run on the server as it doesnt like the .NET framework for some reason.
