Thank you for this one; I forgot mentioning HTML::Treebuilder, but I had it in mind too.

I hope to get the time to add the other variations too; once that done, I'll want to uniformize style about the different approaches and then comment a bit about pros or cons for each.

I'll probably avoid benchmarking (reasoning about No More Meaningless Benchmarks!)- not sure yet. In the end, I hope to have collected together a few code samples that might be a goot reading for all those that step into the html parsing task.

I'm still looking to find a good title ("Parsing HTML' ?) and a good way to place the whole thing in the end. I'm tempted to make it a set of linked nodes in 'Code catacombs', but I'm unsure yet.

Thanks again.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
