I've been trying to use perl to parse http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=1645 however, i can't seem to get Mojo::DOM to work properly... Here is the code i currently have:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use diagnostics; use LWP::Curl; use Mojo::DOM; use Data::Dumper; my $lwpcurl = LWP::Curl->new(); my $content = $lwpcurl->get('http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n +=1645'); my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new($content); my $result = $dom->at('#tableprofile > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td.da +ta')->text; print Data::Dumper::Dumper($result);
with out the ->text i get undef, with the ->text i get an error saying that you can't get text from an undefined item. I'm trying to use the css selector that i got from chrome and firefox (where the chrome one is above and the firefox selector is: html.js body div#wrapper div#main div#right div#content table tbody tr td.section div div#compareprofile table#tableprofile tbody tr td.data but either way i never get any results
