XML::ValidWriter writes to a string if you pass in a \$scalar as the
destination:

       new
              $writer = XML::ValidWriter->new( DTD => $dtd, OUTPUT => \*FH ) ;

           Creates an XML::ValidWriter.

           The value passed for OUTPUT may be:

           a SCALAR ref
               if you want to direct output to append to a
               scalar.  This scalar is truncated whenever the
               XML::ValidWriter object is reset() or DESTROY()ed

           a file handle glob ref or a reference to an IO object
               XML::ValidWriter does not load IO.  This is the
               only mode compatible with XML::Writer.

           a file name
               A simple scalar is taken to be a filename to be
               created or truncated and emitted to.  This file
               will be closed when the XML::ValidWriter object is
               reset or deatroyed.
