Hi

, I am playing around with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome and would like to understand the following:

When (as an example) I do this: 

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome;

my $url = "https://www.economist.com/china/2018/11/03/think-of-china-a
+s-a-giant-sub-prime-lender-in-latin-america";
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new();

$mech->get($url);

print $_->nodeName, "\n\n", $_->get_attribute('innerHTML'), "\n\n" for
+ $mech->selector("html");

[download]
I get several html-documents as $mech->selector("html") does not only return one element (as I had expected) but a whole array (and I have no clue what these are, maybe iframes I don't know).

What is the proper way to only retrieve the html of the main page?

I hope my question is understandable...

Many thanks!
