I don't know which engine perl.com uses, but if you have the template
parameter WORDS in you templates, htdig 3.1.5 puts the unquoted img-tag
into the result page.

Funnily enough, the htdig 3.1.5 on htdig.org encodes the offending string
in
<input type="text" size="30" name="words" value="&lt;img 
src=http://199.125.85.46/time.jpg&gt;";>

while the distributed htdig 3.1.5 (here the debian-version 3.1.5-2) doesn't:

<input type="text" size="30" name="words" value="<img 
src=http://199.125.85.46/time.jpg>">

(And there is neither a security section on htdig.org nor an email address
for bug reports... so I am crossposting this to htdig-general)

Yours, Florian Hars.
