=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script takes a directory as an argument and then submits every file
in that directory to the W3C validator. It will print out a line for each
file stating if it is valid or otherwise. For the invalid files it will
also print out the errors returned by the validator.

    # are indenting to run this against a lot of files and
    # then uncomment this line and change the uri
    # validator_uri =>  'http://localhost/w3c-validator/check',
    detailed        =>  1
