Thanks for your input, I also recived some suggestons from crazyinsomiac to take a look at URI::URL, since I knew my url checking was not the best, and I had planned on changing it.

Your last bullet point, see my use.perl journal, it has some info from Sean Burke. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Also, a better name would be good, another comment from crazyinsomniac says the Smart part dosn't indicate what the module does, but does not have any suggestions...

Some other ideas I had was HTML::TokeParser::URL, but it will also do files or html.

On an unrelated note, this is my 42nd post, not a 'major' milestone, but I think it's cool.
