With HTML::Tiny? HTML::Tiny doesn't seem like an appropriate choice. To begin with, it has no support for parsing HTML!

Here's an example using HTML::HTML5::Parser and HTML::HTML5::Writer; two modules that I wrote, which are available on the CPAN.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::HTML5::Parser;
use HTML::HTML5::Writer qw(DOCTYPE_XHTML1);

my $parser = 'HTML::HTML5::Parser'->new;
my $writer = 'HTML::HTML5::Writer'->new(markup => 'xhtml', doctype => 
+DOCTYPE_XHTML1);

print $writer->document( $parser->load_html(IO => \*DATA) );

__DATA__
<!doctype html>
<HTML LANG="en">
<title>Some HTML</TITLE>
<P>Here is some HTML</body>

Adding XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint into the mix allows you to tidy up the XHTML output, nicely indenting the tags:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::HTML5::Parser;
use HTML::HTML5::Writer qw(DOCTYPE_XHTML1);
use XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint;

my $parser = 'HTML::HTML5::Parser'->new;
my $writer = 'HTML::HTML5::Writer'->new(markup => 'xhtml', doctype => 
+DOCTYPE_XHTML1);
my $pp     = 'XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint'->new_for_html;

print $writer->document(
    $pp->pretty_print(
        $parser->load_html(IO => \*DATA),
    ),
);

__DATA__
<!doctype html>
<HTML LANG="en">
<title>Some HTML</TITLE>
<P>Here is some HTML</body>

[download]

Sample output:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w
+3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html lang="en" xmlns="http://
+www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>Some HTML</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Here is some HTML</p>
    </body>
</html>

(I really need to look at adding a line break after the doctype.)

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name
