How do I linkify text in Perl?

Question

I have some text I want to linkify, which I can reasonably do with a regex (search for http/https or www) but I'm worried about XSS complications. What's a safe way to do this in Perl?

Answer 1

Exactly what do you mean by XSS complications? Are you only concerned with JavaScript or do URLs of the form http://example.com/command?type=delete;who=sam etc concern you as well?

As for linkifying URLs, there will always be edge cases, but Text::Markdown worked pretty well on a variety of inputs when I tried it. You can use the urls method to preprocess the links.

Answer 2

我无法谈论XSS问题，但是URI :: Find可以让您查找文本中的所有URI，并将其转换为所需的任何内容。
