There are a couple of options with Perl. One is simple CGI::XML, which
dumps the form variables into simple name/value pairs in a simple XML
representation. The other is CGI::XMLForm, which creates XML based on the
name of the form values. You name them using XPaths, which then generates
the XML based on the XPaths entered.

Both are covered in
