You might remember me mentioning perlanet a few months ago. It's a simple Planet clone written in Perl which I've been using to run a few planet sites.
But if you look at any of my planets (e.g. Planet Westminster), you'll see that all is not well. My software isn't handling encoding very well and currently it's not acting as a very good advert for Perl.
I know that I really need to get stuck in and work out exactly where I'm going wrong, but currently I don't have enough spare time. So I was hoping that someone who knows more about this stuff than I do would be interested in having a look and suggesting some fixes.
If you're interested, you can look at the code in Trac or check it out from svn. I'm happy to hand out commit bits if people want to dig in and make fixes.
Or if you just want to post a comment here pointing out the obvious mistakes that I'm making, then that's alright too.
Looks like HTML::Tidy is to blame.
