Neato.  I'll take a closer look at it when I get home from work tonight.  My
understanding of xslt is poor at best, I'm interested to see what it can do!

Yes, it's on sourceforge.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/filterproxy.  You
should check that your module works with it.  (may require translation of a=
ny
html files)

I've added a number of cool features, and changed Parse::ePerl -> HTML::Mas=
on
for the config files.  I *really* need to get 0.30 out.  I'm sitting on a l=
ot
of changes here.
