    HTML::Lint is designed to do exactly that.

      The docs for HTML::Tidy say:

      [HTML::Tidy is] meant as a replacement for HTML::Lint. If you're currently an HTML::Lint user looking to migrate, see the section "Converting from HTML::Lint"

      So HTML::Lint isn't deprecated yet... but it sounds like it's heading that way.

      And as they're both owned by the same author, I'm inclined to believe him :-)

    Hi rose, the best option for manipulating HTML data is through using modules. Try these...

    HTML::Parser
HTML::SimpleParse 
HTML::TagParser

    [download]
    One of this should really solve your purpose.
