Re: HTML::TreeBuilder, HTML::Element, as

IMnsHO, there is a bug in the _valid_name subroutine deep in HTML::Element. There should be

return (0) unless ( $attr =~ /^$START_CHAR$NAME_CHAR*$/ );
[download]

not

return (0) unless ( $attr =~ /^$START_CHAR$NAME_CHAR+$/ );
[download]

The XML specs say that

Name    ::=    NameStartChar (NameChar)*

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.
