Re^3: HTML::Tidy and mysterious HTML::Tidy::Document

Someone needs to ping petdance (with a patch?). The documentation lies. Here's working code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::Tidy;

my $fname = join ' ', @ARGV;

my $html = do { local $/; <> }; # slurp file(s) from commandline

my $tidy = HTML::Tidy->new();

$tidy->parse( $fname, $html );

warn $_->as_string, "\n" for $tidy->messages;

print $tidy->clean( $html );
[download]

Makeshifts last the longest.

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 );` [download] Leaves $html untouched. Next question, how does one pass command-line options to tidy via the module? Or should I quit while I'm ahead? ($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print	[reply] [d/l]

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.

I found this link to another wrapper, but I can't get the file to download successfully for some reason: http://users.rcn.com/creitzel/tidy.html#tidyperl ($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print	[reply]
