Re: Packing unsafe string for later context-based escaping

Hi Dallaylaen :)

In fact you are searching a module that will make all the checks for you, right?
But what in case of potential problem?

Option 1 => an exception is thrown and you will invalidate the input
Option 2 => go ahead and try to solve it with another code (your code...) => same problematic :(

Rem: your post is a good question

Perl::Critic have polities, it could help.

Um, no, I'm not trying to check anything. I'm trying to pack a string which I get from a user (whether checked or not) in such a way that it is displayed in a safe manner to another user while retaining the original content for my own dark purposes. This may be seen as data/presentation split for a given string, where specific presentation method is common for all string and depends on which part of my software I'm currently in.	[reply]

A JSON format will not help you?	[reply]
