title: Removing HTML from user input in Perl and Catalyst
body: <p>I'm using Catalyst for my Perl web app.  What is the accepted way of removing HTML from user input?  </p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm leaning towards using HTML::FormatText.  But it seems strange to me that I can't find a utility built into Catalyst to do this common task.  Have I just not found it?  Also, it seems these modules for removing input take like 5 lines of code.  I was hoping for a simple "deHTMLify()" method.  I guess I can roll my own but didn't want to reinvent the wheel. </p>
  
  <p>I think the form validation modules like HTML::FormFU do this for you, but I am hoping to avoid that complexity.  My forms are short and simple.  Is this decision wrong headed?</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing it right?</p>
