Hi wiseguys,

can I (better: how can I) use regex with web::scraper?

my html looks like this:

#    <div class="ereignis " style="55;" data-type="link" data-content=
+"/ajax/ereignis/185" rel="tooltip">
#        <span class="point">
#            &nbsp;
#        </span>
#    </div>
<code>

My scraper looks (so far like this):
<code>
my $scraper = scraper {
"styles[]" => scraper {
    process 'div[data-content[contains("/ajax/ereignis")]]', "styles[]
+" => scraper {
        process 'span', "ereignis" => '@class';
        process 'div[style]', "zeit" => '@style';
    }
};
my $res = $scraper->scrape($html);
print Dumper $res;

The "contains"-part is wrong... What would work is:

div[data-content="/ajax/ereignis/185"]

But that would only give me a single "ereignis" and not all.

I am grateful for any ideas!
