I download the source for W3C's validator from
http://validator.w3.org/source/ to validate pages on my own server. I
commented a block of code that checks for non-public hosts so the
validator would let me check http://localhost but then i ran into a
roadblock. The validator claimed my pages weren't valid. No problem.
However, it wouldn't say what the errors where. I tried this by
checking a known invalid remote site. Same result. Then I validate
http://w3.org and was shocked when it was pronounced as "not valid
XHTML 1.0 Strict". The problem is definitely not with the code I
commented - I uncomment it, and the same problems occur. So what's the
problem? Btw, I'm running Apache 1.3.29 with Perl 5.8.4 on Slackware
Linux Current.

I'm speechless.

How are we meant to debug this?!

Can you post a URL to the code in question so we may look at it? Please
don't post it directly in a post, give a URL.

Never mind - turns out I forgot to install OpenSP and errors weren't
being returned because of a half-install (wonder where that came
from?) which had the required files. It was kind of obscure, though.
OpenSP isn't mentioned anywhere on http://validator.w3.org/source/ but
it is at http://validator.w3.org/docs/install.html

Congratulations for getting that far.

I just installed on Slackware 9.1, and notices that the older version of
OpenSP was still being used -- the old version was installed to /usr/bin/
and the newer to /usr/local/bin/. Removing the older solved the problem.

I did have to update Perl from 5.8.0 to 5.8.4 to install the required
modules.
