Greetings fellow monks! In an earlier thread a monk recommended that I try out XML::Twig for parsing an Atom feed, and for the most part, it works out great. The code I have so far: 
my $content = get("foo/bar.xml");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;

my $t= XML::Twig->new( 
       # the twig will include just the root and selected titles 
           twig_roots   => { 'summary/div' => \&grabDiv,
                                         'title' => \&grabTitle,
                                         'entry/link' => \&grabLinks  
+         
               }
                      );
  $t->parse($content);


  sub grabDiv 
    { my( $t, $elt)= @_;
      push ( @divs , $elt->text);    # print the text (including sub-e
+lement texts)
      $t->purge;           # frees the memory
    }
    
    
  sub grabTitle 
    { my( $t, $elt)= @_;
      push( @headlines, $elt->text);    # print the text (including su
+b-element texts)
      $t->purge;           # frees the memory
    }
    
  sub grabLinks 
    { my( $t, $elt)= @_;
        my $thingey = $elt->{'href'};
      push( @links, $elt->text);    # print the text (including sub-el
+ement texts)
      $t->purge;           # frees the memory
    }

This works great, except for the fact that the links in an atom feed are stored like this: 
<link href="foo/bar.html" rel="alternate" title="Foo" type="text/html"
+/>

Ive sat here furiosly staring at the screen for some time now, but I cant seem to find the answer. Is there a way XML::Twig can do this or will I have to come up with some kind of dirty regex?
