I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Enabling XHTML cleaning in HTML::Tidy

I'm curious if anybody has looked at using HTML::Tidy to convert tag soup to XHTML? What would be involved in doing that?

I have no XS experience myself, but I have realized I really need it, so if it isn't prohibitively hard to do, I may dive into it.

Cheers,

Kjetil

Re: Enabling XHTML cleaning in HTML::Tidy
Hei Kjetil,

I do use HTML::Tidy for cleaning up html into valid and properly encoded xhtml, as well as for cleaning up general xml files.

The trick is to install version 1.05_02 of this module. It has the option to pass in the path to a configuration file. That way you can tweak libtidy's behaviour to your heart's content. See http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ for details.

To install this specific version using CPAN, you'd say:

cpan> install PETDANCE/HTML-Tidy-1.05_02.tar.gz


I know this is a developer release, but I'm using it production on a fairly high traffic site (>100k pageviews a day), and it's completely stable.

HTH,
Rhesa
