HTML::Strip::Whitespace - Perl extension for stripping whitespace out of HTML.
use HTML::Strip::Whitespace qw(html_strip_whitespace); my $html = <<"EOF"; <html> <body> <p> Hello there! </p> </body> </html> EOF my $buffer = ""; html_strip_whitespace( 'source' => \$html, 'out' => \$buffer );
This module tries to strip as much whitespace from an HTML as it can without eliminating valid whitespace (like the one inside <pre>).
To use it call the function HTML::Strip::Whitespace::html_strip_whitespace, with named parameters. source is the HTML::TokeParser source for the HTML. out can be a reference to a buffer which will be filled with the stripped HTML, or alternatively a reference to a sub-routine or a file handle that will output it.

HTML Tidy with its Perl binding, which probably does a better and faster job of performing this task.
HTML::Clean is a module which also aims to optimise the size of HTML.
