If you can live with the memory footprint stick with it. I would personally use HTML::TokeParser::Simple (or HTML::Parser if it was called for). It too has an XML counterpart (XML::TokeParser). I do not care to provide an example (there are tons already --> super search -- and lots of them are in "how do you scan html" type threads).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
