If you're grabbing just HTML, I know you know HTTP::Tiny is nice lite'r option. I've never actually needed to use Mechanize - though always wanted to. I seem to have gone from just parsing HTML or JSON with LWP or HTTP::Tiny to using something like Playwright or Firefox::Marionette for interaction. Web::Scraper is super handy here. I know the "dream" is to have browserless browser objects, but frankly I don't know how this kind of thing can be sustainable - I think it's a miracle Mechanize still exists.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
