Re: about retrieving and parsing html without writing on disk

hmm, I'm too busy to install the modules, but it's at least possible to open a variable for reading and writing.

open my $fh , "<", \$cache

so if you can operate with filehandles instead of files this should work.

HTML::Parser allows ->parse_file($fh) and even ->parse($string)

Maybe have a look at $string = $mech->content(...) from WWW::Mechanize

Maybe have a look at $string = $mech->content(...) from WWW::Mechanize and maybe at HTTP::Response as well, because `$mech->get( $uri )` returns an object of that type.	[reply] [d/l]

Good note for checking `$response->code` and such. Along those lines, for the OP, if you use WWW::Mechanize remember that it fails hard, dies, on any non-success responses, 400s and 500s, unless you set `autocheck => 0`. You also have access to the response object from the mech object with `$mech->response` so you don't necessarily need a new variable for it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
