Is there another copy of your script that shows the "raw" xml, without being 
embedded in the HTML?

I tried taking your output and doing something like:
use CGI qw(header);

my $xml= <<EOF;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<corpus>
 <paragraph>
  <sentence>
[snip]
</corpus>
EOF

print header(-type=>'text/xml', charset=>'UTF-8');
  print $xml;

And it worked fine.  I'm using Firefox 0.9.2 amnd MSIE 6, and service with 
Apache 2.0.48 for Win32 and ActivePerl 5.8.4 (i happened across the original 
email on one of my windows systems) - both browsers rendered the xml in that 
neat collapsable manner.  So it sounds like your server is mucking something 
up.
