Perl Programming at Its Finest: The De-moroniserAnybody who knows anything about Web design and coding knows that Microsoft's products, including it's "Web developer" stuff, produce some of the nastiest HTML code imaginable. This Perl script will convert Microsoft's "HTML" into something at least usable as a starting point to use online. Now what somebody needs to do is take this perl code and put it online somewhere and make it usable so you can just put a URL into a form field, and have it clean it up, and spit back the results (I'm not nearly good enough in Perl to do that). I'm sure it would be a bandwidth/CPU hog, but it'd be so worth it. Posted by Jake on 07/18/04 @ 12:20 PM

It'd be huge, but it would: 1) Replace MSIE with Firefox 2) Patch IIS (because an Apache replacement would be a bit complicated) 3) Patch Windows/OE/MSIE, if Firefox isn't getting replaced. 4) Run the demoroniser on sites all over the Web, upload the content. 5) Hack into FTP servers, block FTP access to FrontPage uploaders. Among other things...:-) Post a comment |
