HTML-Truncate

[This is alpha software.]

When working with text it is convenient and common to want to truncate
strings to make them fit a desired context. E.g., you might have a
menu that is only 100px wide and prefer text doesn't wrap so you'd
truncate it around 15-30 characters, depending on preference and
typeface size. This is trivial with plain text and substr() but with
HTML it is somewhat difficult because whitespace has fluid
significance and open tags that are not properly closed destroy
well-formedness and can wreck an entire layout.

HTML::Truncate attempts to account for those two problems by padding
truncation for spacing and entities and closing any tags that remain
open at the point of truncation.
