Geo::GML translates XML (in this case representing GML data) into
Perl's nested HASHes and ARRAYs with the same structure (while
validating)  And the reverse: write GML.

I do not understand this. Geo::GDAL/GDAL is an application, where
GML and OGR are formats.  So, it would be something like:

    Geo::GML->read($gml_doc)->Geo::GDAL::ogr_or_something($outfile)
                                  libGDAL

I have no idea how the data needs to be organized to be accepted
by the Geo::GDAL functions.
