Here's a suggestion: don't try. Force yourself to write the code in XSLT
instead, until you have thoroughly mastered the language. Only then will
you be able to judge the cases where it's better to make a call to a
different language. Calls from XSLT to external languages should be
avoided for all sorts of reasons, one of which is that they are
non-portable.
