Pure Perl HTML Parser on CPAN: HTML::Parser::Simple

Ron Savage on 2009-02-24T05:58:07

Yes folks, it true.

Docs: http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules/html/HTML/Parser/Simple.html

Let the bugfest begin!


Doc fix and a question?

mir on 2009-02-24T10:39:11

In the Required Modules section you list Tree::DAG_Node, but in the FAQ just above you write that you use Tree::Simple.

Is the API stable enough that I can work on am HTML::Parser::Simple::XPath based on XML::XPathEngine? Or do you want to do this?

Hi mir

My apologies - you are correct. I'm using Tree::Simple.

I will fix that.

And yes, the API is definitely stable.

Hi mir

Firstly, I've uploaded V 1.01 to CPAN.

Secondly, I suggest you work on that other module. I have only the tiniest experience with XPath.

OK, I'll have a look at it.

BTW, using XML::XPathEngine really means monkey-patching the XML/HTML module to make it behave enough like a DOM so the XPath engine can work on it. No XPath knowledge needed.
