Re: Any Alternative to HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath?

XML::LibXML can parse HTML if told to, but only if your HTML is more or less well formed and valid. Adding the recover option makes it a bit more robust:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::LibXML;

my $dom = 'XML::LibXML'->load_html(string => << '__HTML__', recover =>
+ 1);
<html><h1>Hello world</h2></html>
__HTML__

print $dom->findvalue('/html/body/h1/text()');

Thanks! This one works exactly how I need to query XPath. Although the HTML I am parsing is malformed (blame the other developer!), this is a really good solution!	[reply]
