Previously I talked about why phpBB sucks. And yet I maintain HTML::BBCode. Unfortunately, this markup system has gained popularity, due to phpBB's popularity. Therefore, a Perl port is handy.

BBCode is just yet-another-markup-"language", similar, but more restrictive than, for instance Markdown or Wiki.

First off, I thought a couple of regexp's would be enough to handle BBCode, but apparently other people started using it and pointed some bugs out. Now I'm working on HTML::BBCode v.1.00 and it's coming along ok. I'm not entirely satisfied with it yet, but soon I'll release the module on CPAN.

But yes, hypocrite that I am, I still believe phpBB and BBCode suck big time ...
