Want to set up tidy to automatically pretty print and indent HTML (i.e., post PHP processing) and show errors via a mod_perl handler, but not sure where to best do that?  Output Filter?

I'm pretty sure you can use Apache::Clean as an output filter to do this.

http://search.cpan.org/~geoff/Apache-Clean-2.00_7/

Apache::Clean is a mod_perl interface into HTML::Clean which is a light weight HTML regex scrubber to remove unneeded whitespace, unneeded elements, etc.  The main intent is to "lighten" the HTML in terms of page serve size.  HTML::Clean is not nearly the robust tool that W3C HTML Tidy is.  The W3C Tidy lib is capable of much:

http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/tidy_man.html

Or is there an easier way to do this without using mod_perl2?  I have dug around on Google extensively and not coming up with any examples mod_perl or otherwise.

Thanks,
