Re^2: Modules or rules to find ill-formatted HTML

I recently tried cleaning up following HTML and got problem. The end quote was missing on an attribute value. use strict; use warnings; use HTML::Tidy; my $html="<a href=\"mailto:test\@test.net>Email Us"; my $tidy = HTML::Tidy->new(); my $clean = $tidy->clean($html); print "Clean HTML:\n---------------------------\n$clean\n"; This produced incorrect output.
