As part of a markdown sharing service, which is written in Perl using CGI::Application, I needed to support :emojis:

Looking on CPAN I couldn't find anything suitable, so I hacked together a simple module which I've called HTML::Emoji, which attempts to parse HTML, using HTML::TokeParser to do the heavy work.

It isn't unusual for me to write little toy modules like this, but mostly the are designed to solve a specific problem that I have and don't seem generally useful.

For this I'm unsure though, does it seem like a useful module or not?

Source HTML::Emoji

As you can see most of the work here is knowing what is a valid token and what is not. Obviously if I did release it I'd need to bundle up the images too, along with test-cases, etc.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
