( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Aww, I was hoping it would automagically figure out which bits of HTML I wanted... ;)

Couple of points to make about this, though:

  • Saying use base 'HTML::TokeParser' is IMHO a lot cleaner than that BEGIN mess.
  • If your class user provides a URL with angle brackets in and forgets to URI-escape them, you'll pass it as HTML, which probably won't dwim. Perhaps there's a module you could use to check if a file's HTML?
  • Using LWP::Simple makes saying that middle bit a lot easier, and since you're not using any of the extra featues of UserAgent its use is redundant here.

Actually, you could solve that middle problem quite neatly by just switching the order of the tests so that it went (file - url - html) rather than (file - html - url), since all URLs acceptable by LWP will have a protocol, and URIs in HTML must be wrapped in a tag.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
