It isn't a core module, but I would probably start by considering HTML::DOM for this since it has handy methods like getElementById, getElementsByName and getElementsByClassName which pretty much covers your spec here.	[reply]

I recommend you to try Mojo::DOM. It allows you to use CSS selectors, you should like it if you want something similar to jQuery. It is not a core module though.	[reply]
