It's not really doable with the simpleminded curry() used here.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but what if you did this:

my %handler = (
   "bold_italic" =  curry(\&wrap_with_html,"b><i"),
);

Err, yes, but that wasn't the point. It's a funny hack, but a hack. :-) It doesn't apply to the general case where one wants to compose functions.

The closing tag would be incorrect if you just add a slash before the string.

You're absolutely correct.
