You haven't said what operating system or shell you're using, but for things like this I usually use awk. This seems to do what you want:
If you're running this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.

SYNOPSIS
use XML::Grove::AsCanonXML;
# Using as_canon_xml method on XML::Grove objects:
$string = $xml_object->as_canon_xml( OPTIONS );
# Using an XML::Grove::AsCanonXML instance:
$writer = XML::Grove::AsCanonXML->new( OPTIONS );
$string = $writer->as_canon_xml($xml_object);

DESCRIPTION
"XML::Grove::AsCanonXML" will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML object and it's content (if any).
"XML::Grove::AsCanonXML" objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects. Options can be supplied when the the object is

or modified at any time before writing an XML object by setting the option directly in the `$writer' hash.
