I actually considered using XML::LibXML and XML::XPath to solve this. Personally, i don't like my solution above very much ... the HTML doesn't seem to match very well with my HTML::TokeParser::Simple solution (but i do wonder how Ovid would have solved it ;)). I have a few nodes that demonstrate XPath: XML::Generator::DBI Tutorial (example 2) (jeffa) 3Re: Calling nested containers with XML::Simple (jeffa) Re: Read XML, Create Dir if not exist (jeffa) Re: CSV Zero Length??

Ovid replies: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use WWW::Mechanize; my $browser = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $browser->get('http://www.chessgames.com'); $browser->follow_link( url_regex => qr/chessgame\?gid=\d+/ ); $browser->follow_link( text => 'view text' ); print $browser->content;` [download] I think that's a wee bit easier to follow :) Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.
