No, Catalyst is an MVC framework.  It helps structure -your- code and
other code into logical compartments so that it is easier to develop,
maintain, etc.

What you want is "perl".  That's the programming language Catalyst is
written in.

You probably want XSLT, since it is exactly for transforming XML to
other formats (such as HTML).

There are many ways to do this, and many perl modules available to help:
