Have you tried multi-web-mode? It switches between nxml-mode and cperl-mode depending on the position of the point. I find it quite handy for developing LON-CAPA problems.
I don't use Emacs, never learned to use it. I think I got scared after being unable to exit the first time I tried. For local XML I use Jaxe, which I have developed (with a specific config file for each language).
Hopefully the future LON-CAPA text editor will be able to provide syntax highlighting and contextual help for both XML and Perl, depending on the cursor position. I can see how that would be useful. For now I am not planning to add anything other than syntax highlighting for Perl code in the graphical editor.
