Hi Monks,

My programming experience with perl is just 2 weeks.I am stuck with a problem.I need to get the value $8.39 from the following code snippet.This code snippet is obtained by selecting the view source option when we right click a web browser:- 

<span class="details-title-text">
<strong>$8.39</strong>
</span>

I am using the mechanize package.I have tried various permutations and combinations of find() & attr() methods.Basically whatever I have tried is throwing errors:-

foreach my $b ($mech->find('span')) {
    my $attr_class= $b->attr('class');
    if(defined($attr_class) )
    {
                 my $tag_strong=$mech->find('strong');
        print Dumper($tag_strong);    
    }
    
}
