Using HTML Modules to parse a file and extract relevant data?

vishwasu89 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a html file. I would like to extract certain data/lines/strings and create a hash array using perl. I have written perl scripts using regex earlier but how to use HTML perl modules? These are the lines in the file:

 <td><b>SCORE</b></td><td>WEIGHT</td><td>GOAL</td><td class="alfsrt">N
+AME</td></tr><tr>
<td class="s5 rt"> 59.37</td>
<td class="wht">1     </td>
<td class="wht">100   </td>
<td><a name="tag_ddr3ctrl_top.T0::ddr3ctrl_coverage::inputs"></a>
<a href="grp0.html" >ddr3ctrl_top.T0::ddr3ctrl_coverage::inputs</a></t
+d>
</tr><tr>
<td class="s7 rt"> 78.32</td>
<td class="wht">1     </td>
<td class="wht">100   </td>
<td><a name="tag_ddr3ctrl_top.T0::ddr3ctrl_coverage::outputs"></a>
<a href="grp1.html" >ddr3ctrl_top.T0::ddr3ctrl_coverage::outputs</a></
+td>

I want to extract the following by parsing the file: 1) s5, grp0.html, inputs 2) s7, grp1.html, outputs

I've made a working example for you. Chek it out: https://gist.github.com/alexbyk/11333279 You can rewrite it for you own needs. See: https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojo::DOM::CSS#SELECTORS https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojo::DOM	[reply]

++ It would probably be better, in the interests of future continuity, to put the code here and enclose it in `<readmore/>` tags if you feel it’s longish for a post. I love gists too but splitting the narrative, as it were, doesn’t work online for long.	[reply] [d/l]
