Thank you. I thought I was going crazy for a while there.

For the record, just in case it hasn't been made clear, doing

$tidy->clean( $html );
Leaves $html untouched.

Next question, how does one pass command-line options to tidy via the module? Or should I quit while I'm ahead?

    Looks like you can't. I skimmed the TidyLib docs for the functions that configure its behaviour, but I don't see any calls to those in the HTML::Tidy sources. That really is a bummer. I was hoping to use the module to write a sane replacement for the annoying standalone tidy binary. It would also have been nice to be able to integrate TidyLib directly into a Perl-enabled Vim.

    Makeshifts last the longest.
