in thread HTML::Scrubber - Perl extension for scrubbing/sanitizing html

Everything ;D

I wasn't aware of HTML::TagFilter. Like I say in the description, I wasn't satisfied with HTML::Sanitizer, so I wrote HTML::Scrubber.

HTML::Scrubber and HTML::TagFilter appear to attack the exact same problem with nearly the same interface.
The same could be said of HTML::Sanitizer.

Looking at TagFilter's TO DO, I already have tests and do the HTML::Parser level optimization he talks about (he's welcomed to borrow those bits if he can).

I don't intend to expand HTML::Scrubber beyond the interface you see now (like he does). I like my simple interface.

HTML::Scrubber is never going to do any rule based translations (like changing all font tags with size=2 to span class=bar, or whatever).

++Hero Zzyzzx, it's nice to see others play merlyn ;D

    Great, instead of inventing yet another wheel, why not send him the tests and patch implementing those features?

      Depending on the perspective of the viewer, perfectly round wheels can look like a warped eliptical wheels, or a flat sticks, or maybe they aren't even visible to the person.

      In situations like that -- where the wheels that have allready been invented don't look quite right -- there's nothing wrong with hammering out your own, if you see fit.

      I don't think so. That would require that I get too intimate with his sourcecode. I'm just not interested (my wheel is complete). Why don't you do it?
