I have a form that is filled out without regard to special characters. This means that quotation marks, slashes, and many other characters which raise hell with HTML and CGI's will be typed in.
This information will be used both to return a HTML page with another form (including HIDDEN INPUTS where the quotation marks raise problems) and to generate a plain text email. Then the form will be submitted and an HTML page will be generated which requires the quotation marks to appear again.
I have no problem dealing with returns and paragraphs, but was wondering if there is a module that will handle all possible input characters that would cause problems (especially quotation marks) when generating HTML from the input.

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).
