use HTML; # !!!

    Description:
     Embed HTML directly into your Perl code.  Just be sure you're using warnings.

$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
  if ($_[0] =~ /readline\(\) on unopened filehandle (\S+)/) {
    print "<$1>";
  }
  elsif ($_[0] !~ /only once/) { warn @_ }
};

sub import {
  my $pkg = caller;
  *{ $pkg . "::glob" } = \&tag;
}

sub tag {
  my $tag = shift;
  $tag =~ s/\s+$//;
  wantarray ? "<$tag>" : print "<$tag>";
}

Mod needed for 5.005_3: `if ($_[0] =~ /readline on unopened filehandle (\S+)/ \|\| $_[0] =~ /Read on (?:unopened\|closed) filehandle <(\S+)>/ ) {` [download] Way cool! ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

You're already being really evil by writing this (or using it!), so what's a bit of anti-social coding? `package HTML; #force warnings on, in case user "forgot" to... :) $^W++; # rest exactly as japhy wrote it` [download] -- Mike	[reply] [d/l]

Evil? Maybe...but it beats the pants off of CGI poetry mode. <itsy-bitsy-tiny>Is this really so evil? Or am I just too (dumb\|new\|unperlish) to see the dangers?</itsy-bitsy-tiny>	[reply]

this has an interesting side effect, such as evidenced in this one-liner: `perl -MHTML -e 'use warnings;use CGI qw/:cgi/; my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header(-type => "text/html"),<html>,<head>,<title>,"Yuck",</title>,</head>,<body>,<tt>,"hello world",</tt>,</body>,</html>, "\n";'` in order to get this to work as it should, i'm forced to make two separate print calls. whether this (bug\|feature) makes this module more or less evil is best left to your discretion.

Move the $SIG{__WARN__} setting into import and have a sub unimport { delete $SIG{__WARN__} } (untested)	[reply]
