HTML::Lint is designed to do exactly that. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]

The docs for HTML::Tidy say: [HTML::Tidy is] meant as a replacement for HTML::Lint. If you're currently an HTML::Lint user looking to migrate, see the section "Converting from HTML::Lint" So HTML::Lint isn't deprecated yet... but it sounds like it's heading that way. And as they're both owned by the same author, I'm inclined to believe him :-) -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Hi rose, the best option for manipulating HTML data is through using modules. Try these... `HTML::Parser HTML::SimpleParse HTML::TagParser` [download] One of this should really solve your purpose.	[reply] [d/l]

~~Regexp::Common could help you.~~ For XHTML files, see Validating XHTML Update: the other mentioned modules seem to be more appropriate.	[reply]
