Installing the W3C Validator

Has anyone had any experience of installing the W3C validator locally?
We develop xhtml e-learning modules and have to provide evidence of W3C validation for every page.
This is fine when we do it online by upload for a project with only a few pages but some can have many many more than that.
I understand that the W3C validator can be installed locally on Apache with Perl and this can then be set to check a local site?
Is this the case and if so does anyone know of an idiots guide to doing it?
Or if you think it maybe beyond an "idiots" capabilities can anyone recommend a consultant in the East Midlands area that could do the install?

Hi

I do not think that is possible.

If you are talking about the [tt]mod_tidy[/tt] module, that is neither W3C nor validator.

But anyway, there are simpler ways too.

Just search the FireFox add-on for "validator" and pick one able to validate locally. ( There are also extensions like Web Developer able to send a local file to the W3C valdator. ) Or simply use HTML Tidy to validate local HTML files.

Feherke.
