HTML::FormatData 0.10 ===================== DESCRIPTION HTML::FormatData contains utility functions to format strings and dates. These utilities are useful for formatting data to be displayed on webpages, or for cleaning and date data during server-side validation before storage in a database or file. While doing web development work in the past, I noticed that I was having to do the same operations time and again: strip HTML from form submissions, truncate strings for display as table data, URI-encode strings for use in links, translate Unix timestamps into mm/dd/yyyy format, etc. Rather than try to keep straight the different modules and functions used, I decided to write a wrapper with a single, consistent interface.
