So would I be right in saying that it is not as simple as I thought?

I am aware that there are more sophisticated modules but I experience
troubles with each one I try. It was suggested that I stick to
XML::XSLT for the moment and try to come up with a work around rather
than have to hassle the IT staff to install more modules on the
managed computer I work on.
Essentially all I want to do is strip out the <kml>, <Document> parts
and be left with a DOM containing <Placemark> and all contents </
Placemark>
Is there a simple way of doing this?
