We all know about weblint.

Any others out there?

Into a project with lots of generated content from lots of various scripts that result in "table" related matches and mismatches. The validators are good at telling you "hey, you got a problem", but none are worth much at figuring out which mismatched td or tr is the "real" problem.

well, there's the HTML::Validator module ( [search.cpan.org] ) which comes with an example script called "validate" which uses the module to validate HTML files. Pretty simple and crude, but does that cut it?

It is not perl, but tidy is handy. You could also install it locally. You could always back-tick it into a perl script.
