I am trying to put up my own (a little bit customized) webmail script. I've figured out how to convert HTML to Text

Something like this:

use HTML::Scrubber;
my $scrubber = HTML::Scrubber->new;
my $result=$scrubber->scrub_file('index.htm');

[download]

But I just can't find any possible way to convert text to HTML (like most webmails do - replacing links with A tag, escaping unsafe characters and so on)

I am not lazy to write my own code for this, but I am afraid that this have been done many times already, as well as I am afraid of making little and obvious mistakes, leaving script vulnerable to obvious XSS)

Thanks in advance. Sincerely Timo
