Oh sure! It's very good, in my opinion: HTML::Tidy is a wrapper around 
libtidy.

clean() returns the transformed contents, so:

	$newcontent = $tidy->clean('foo', $oldcontent);

I _think_ that file name would be used in the stringified error and 
warning messages you can access with $tidy->messages;

The docs need work. And I highly recommend you try HTML::Tidy version 
1.05_02, since that gives you the option to pass a config file to the 
underlying library.
See my plugin CGI::Application::Plugin::HtmlTidy (which relies on that 
1.05_02 developer release) for some ideas, and of course see the docs to 
tidy itself.

HTH,
