CPAN id registration
Hi! I'd like to share my module CGI::CheckHTML on the CPAN. That module fills an existing gap in the CPAN module list. It is lightweight but still quite powerfull and configurable HTML checker/autocorrector designed especially for web applications that need to allow users to post comments or messages ehnanced with a limited set of HTML tags. Full-blown HTML validators do not suit this need well, because using them one can't deny/allow the user to include images, javascripts, urls etc. on an individual basis and because it's not desirable to force users to use perfectly correct HTML and to properly escape all those ">" they tend to use. The module is at http://geocities.com/tripiecz/CheckHTML/CheckHTML-0.80.tar.gz. Full documentation is available in the tarball or online converted to HTML at http://geocities.com/tripiecz/CheckHTML/CheckHTML.html. My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My name is Tomas Styblo.

I hardly can imagine any other way to use it in real world situations. But maybe HTML::CgiChecker would be more appropriate. Tomas __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

It's not limited to any interface, it has a constructor that creates an object, which in turn can be configured and then repeatably used to check strings with HTML that you pass to its method. So I think "HTML::CGIChecker" is quite an aproppriate name for it. The original idea of "CGI::CheckHTML" araised when I bulit a message board and desperately needed a way to deny users to break resulting pages by posting malicious code, javascripts, porn etc, while still allowing them to use *some* HTML. The first place I looked for a solution was the CGI area. Just my 0.02c. Thanks, Tomas __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
