The truth is, project and personal are not ready yet. password protection is my perverted way to frustrate random web surfers.;) jumpgate is however functional and protection is obvious necessary. Anyway here is the copy (pod appended). Note, the purpose of QuickCheck is, not surprisingly, a quick check, esp. for validation of user input in CGI transactions. I recommend weblint etc. for offline comprehensive html syntax checking. I haven't got time to update it for a while, but the concept and update is obvious and trivial... hope it can be of any use to you, __Luke Date: Sat, 30 Sep 1995 13:26:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Luke To: Andreas Koenig Subject: Re: QuickCheck In-Reply-To: <199509292352.AAA26116@anna.mind.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 30 Sep 1995, Andreas Koenig wrote: >Thanks, it maybe will, but -- how silly of me, I haven't introduced my >intent, is it ok for you if I put this version on the module server? >I'm currently collecting everything, but you could of course not know >that, so... I have to ask once again :) Yeah, sure, just note it is still in beta, may need more extensive field test. >For more info see http://franz.ww.tu-berlin.de/modulelist/ > >The list of mirrors is meanwhile more than ten sites long, will update soon. Thanks for maintaining such a great resource for the benefit of everybody. __Luke Date: Sun, 1 Oct 1995 04:26:37 -0500 (CDT) From: Luke To: andreas.koenig@mind.de Subject: Re: QuickCheck In-Reply-To: <199510010757.IAA01767@anna.mind.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sun, 1 Oct 1995, Andreas Koenig wrote: > There is a precedence problem in QuickCheck. > > % perl -e 'require HTML::QuickCheck' > Can't modify logical or in concatenation at /usr/local/lib/perl5/HTML/QuickCheck.pm line 108, near ""<$tag1> does not match \n";" Yuck. I only paid attention to perl 4 compatibility (we have too much script to use perl 5 as perl). Why Larry changed the precedence is beyond me... Anyway here is the fixed version (just added couple of parentheses). I confess I am not familiar with the MakeMaker... Thanks for the 'bug' report. __Luke
