parsing custom attributes in span/div tags

opensourcer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I was parsing a website and found custom attributes for div and span. Is there any way to get those using Web::parser or any modules.
example: <div cid="some data" url="some url">....</div>
Thanks for the help.

Found the solution (http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/Web-Scraper-0.37/lib/Web/Scraper.pm#EXAMPLES) by using @attr <replace with real attribute name>	[reply]
