Very much true, although what I'm attempting to test is the structure of the HTML in the templates themselves. I think testing the validity of output of HTML::Template templates a whole different cookie - and wouldn't be hurt by valid HTML in the template to begin with. I'm not sure what the solution is to that, since each template wants a different set of variables with different values being different for each value. Perhaps a solution to that would be to create a WWW::Mechanize robot that visits all the screens (known) to exist in the webapp and report of any problems with the HTML. I *guess* that would be fun, although it still doesn't test every instance of what gets passed to HTML::Template. Another solution would be to filter all the variables that are sent to HTML::Template before they are. HTML::Template is only called directly in one place in the app, so adding that wouldn't be a problem. Another may be just to enforce the various ESCAPE parameters in the HTML::Templates where they'd do the most good. That would be as easy as appending the program's style guide. I may worry about that later (and funny, I can't find anything about validating those conditions). At the moment, I'm fixing the errors my fairly simple test is turning up in my templates. I'm fairly pleased of the results I've gotten back, most of the errors reported are, in fact, goofs in the HTML of the HTML::Template templates.
