+ Javascript code which has HTML in strings (very common in DHTML apps)
Does the current parser pick that up? I don't think HTML::Parser
executes any JavaScript.
No, I'm saying that your simple regex approach whould change the JS code on the page, which is *not*

Please, please don't do that! HTML is a complicated language and any regular expressions you come up
with will fail on real world code. Trying to

Agree.
On a side note, get a hosting provider that gives you a compiler, gee wiz!
Easy for you to say Mr. Moneybags! I doubt if any of the cheap hosting
providers

Hi Lyle
I see. But there isn't a Pure Perl parser available, and for those that
really can't get HTML::Parser on their cheap shared hosting, isn't a
regexp that works most/some of the time better than nothing?
No, it's not 'better than nothing'. Ever.
All you're doing is lighting the fuse

No,
Data::FormValidator can be used without the stated XS prereq's, if you
don't use the built in 'email', you don't need Net::DNS. Just use a
regex in its place. Something like
'/^[a-za-z0-9\_\-\...@[a-za-z0-9\_\-\.]+[a-za-z]$/' might do (NOTE:
there are more complete ones out there).
You don't have

As for HTML::FillInForm, it's better to do nothing, than to use some

regexp can cause you far more problems than good. That's not to say a
pure-perl parser cannot be written, but that hand-writing a regex

Hi Folks
Fortunately I am neither advocating nor desiring a pure-Perl form
validation module, but I don't understand the resistance to this. The
poor bloke is saying -- look, I have folks who want to utilize my
scripts in situations where they cannot compile modules... what do I
do?

Hi Mark,

Is there currently a way around this that I'm not aware of?
No, there isn't.
