Mojo Dom method "text" return undefined

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

Hi Monks who are always smarter than me. I am parsing html pages using Mojo::Dom and have certain instances where the class I'm looking for is not on the page and therefore causing a can't call method "text" on an undefined value error. Here's my code:

$r7=$dom->at ('[class="MTLgp 654"]')->text ;
[download]

I tried pushing it to an array using the following but no luck, error-ing out:

 
$r7=$dom->at ('[class="MTLgp 654"]')->each(sub {push @columns 101, joi
+n '|', map { $_->text };
[download]

Any help is greatly appreciated. I think I'm close with how I'm trying to fix it but off for sure

> can't call method "text" on an undefined value error So? `my $c7 = $dom->at ('[class="MTLgp 654"]'); my $r7 = $c7->text if defined $c7;` [download] Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
