I had very good experience using Firepath to find the right CSS selectors / XPath expressions inside Firefox.

You can copy an auto-generated explicit expression by right clicking on a DOM-element and change them interactively.

Simply copy the final path and/or selector into your Perl code then.

HTH! :)
