Lucky for you i had some time to read your source ;-)

I think the main-problem is how $attr is handled in sub _do_BB. Basically you should try to filter any content in $attr which is not what you expect. Right now you filter < and >. In addition you should also filter ; and " since ; can begin a new css-attribute and " can end the css altogether and start something new (like i did with onmouseover="").

Maybe it would also be nice to change the behavior from just filtering out all unwanted stuff to changing broken BBCode into text. That would resemble what phpBB actually does.

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.
