I have set up an experimental mod_bleedperl server which URI is shown in
the subject.
To demonstrate the power of Perl 5.8, I have written a small cgi/pl (.pl
runs on Apache::Registry) called piconv.pl, a web version of piconv(1).
http://bleedperl.dan.co.jp:8080/piconv/
(Don't forget :8080; it's not run on root!)
What's so funny is that this service can be used to 'asciify' non-ascii
web pages. Bart's idea of HTMLCREF is fully exploited here. To find it
out, try
http://bleedperl.dan.co.jp:8080/piconv/piconv.pl?f=euc-
jp&t=ascii&u=www.yahoo.co.jp
Then
http://bleedperl.dan.co.jp:8080/piconv/piconv.pl?f=euc-
jp&t=ascii&o=plain&u=www.yahoo.co.jp
