HTML::Clean isn't only good for static HTML pages. I use it in a mod_perl content management system to shrink my page sizes and it works beautifully.

I use this in combination with CGI::Application and HTML::Template. This is a wicked space saver for HTML::Template pages especially, because all the context variables in a template file leave behind whitespace after parsing (which makes sense at some level, especially if you're generating stuff in PRE tags.)

I've found a shrinkage of 10-20% at a speed penalty of about 2-3% in combination with mod_perl. Pretty good savings! I use it at it's lowest level too.

If the max performance of an application isn't bound by processor speed, I highly recommend using HTML::Clean!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
