in thread How to write CSS selector to extract more than one value from html source using scrappy module?

Based on the Scrappy synopsis you might use
$scraper->crawl( 'http://www.example.com/page', '/page' => { 'div p a' => sub { print $_[1]->{href}, "\n"; }, 'div p img' => sub { print $_[1]->{src}, "\n"; } } );
the selectors are made in turn, not that useful

Scrappy::Scraper::Parser further convinces me Scrappy has too much Pee.

Pure Web::Scraper looks simpler to manage
#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use Web::Scraper; my $html_content = <<'__HTML__'; <html> <body> <div></div> <div id="wrapper"> <div></div> <div id="outer"> <div id="inner"> <div></div> <div id="center"> <div></div> <div id="main"> <div></div> <div> <table id="wrappedcontent"> <tbody class="shnitzel" bgcolor='red'> <tr> <td> <table class="someclass" style="width:508px;" id="Any_20"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>key1</strong></td> <td>val1</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key2</strong></td> <td>val2</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key3</strong></td> <td>val3</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key4</strong></td> <td>val4</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key5</strong></td> <td>val5</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key6</strong></td> <td>val6</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key7</strong></td> <td>val7</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key8</strong></td> <td>val8</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key9</strong></td> <td>val9</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key10</strong></td> <td>val10</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>key11</strong></td> <td>val11</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="pm905050"> <p> <a href="http://example.com/"> <img src="http://example.com/example.png" alt="example alt"> </a> </p> </div> <div id="pm905050-01"> <p> <a href="http://example.com/01"> <img src="http://example.com/01/example.png" alt="example 01 al +t"> </a> </p> </div> </body> </html> __HTML__ my @pdata; push @pdata, scraper { process '//*/table[@class="someclass"]//tr[position() mod 2 = 1]', 'table[]' => scraper { process '//tr/td[1]', 'name' => 'TEXT'; process '//tr/td[2]', 'attr' => 'TEXT'; }; }; push @pdata, scraper { process 'div p', ## process '//div/p/*[@href or @src]', 'divp[]' => scraper { process 'a', 'link' => '@href'; process 'img', 'image' => '@src'; }; }; for my $pagedata ( @pdata ){ my $res = $pagedata->scrape( \$html_content ) or die "Can't define content to parser $!"; print Dumper( $res ), "\n\n"; } __END__ $VAR1 = { 'table' => [ { 'name' => 'key1', 'attr' => 'val1' }, { 'name' => 'key3', 'attr' => 'val3' }, { 'name' => 'key5', 'attr' => 'val5' }, { 'name' => 'key7', 'attr' => 'val7' }, { 'name' => 'key9', 'attr' => 'val9' }, { 'name' => 'key11', 'attr' => 'val11' } ] }; $VAR1 = { 'divp' => [ { 'link' => 'http://example.com/', 'image' => 'http://example.com/example.png' }, { 'link' => 'http://example.com/01', 'image' => 'http://example.com/01/example.png' } ] };
