Hello:

Thanks for that example. It gave me something to thing about.

The first thing I noticed is that you are using:
-> querySelectorAll('table#game_info tr') # get all rows from +game_info table
to find the game table. Not all website provide an id on the table
please consider the following webpage:
http://www.databasefootball.com/boxscores/scheduleyear.htm?yr=1985&lg=nfl
What I am want to extract from here is the basic game info week by week.
When I look at the source for the page I do not see an id.
Anyway I wrote this bit of code: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::HTML5::Parser;
use XML::LibXML::QuerySelector;
use XML::LibXML;
use Data::Dumper;


my $url = "http://www.databasefootball.com/boxscores/scheduleyear.htm?
+yr=1985&lg=nfl";

 my $parser =  HTML::HTML5::Parser->new;
 my $doc  =  $parser->parse_file($url);


print Dumper $doc;
print $doc->toString;

[download]
just to see what HTML::HTML5::Parser would do with the databasefootbal.com season page.
I expected the webpage would get parse into some sort of XML structure I could query. But I do not see that.
Hope I am not testing your patience, but how would I get at the tables of scores by week in the above webpage.
Many thanks

KD
