HTML::TreeBuilder. I've not used it for a few years, but it did sterling work last time I did use it.

    I've been using Treebuilder for years to read music listings from the local weekly for me. Every few years they change their format and it usually only takes a few minutes to modify the code to get the data I want again. I used HTML::Tokeparser before that, which was a slightly easier module to get started with but not as easy to maintain as the source data format changed.
