Re: The "vcard" divs are children of the "secTitle" divs rather then siblings.

Oh how I wish that were true.
Here is a a snippet of the Husband portion of the page.
<div class="secTitle">HUSBAND</div>
<div style='display:inline' class='vcard' id='hcard-Josiah-Leonard'>
    Name: 
    <span class='fn n'>

I think my problem is that I my iteration with ->right() assumes the ->content array of the parent node contains only references to HTML::Element objects. This assumption is wrong. The ->content array of an HTML::Element is a mix of text scalars and references. As your code (with the use of if ref() demonstrates). That this is not the case is demonstrated by this HTML snippet the test page 
<span class='BogusClasNameForThisExample'>

There are 4 elements in the ->content array of the span node:
I think I need to use the ->objectify_text() and \->deobjectify_text(). This should pack up the text as HTML::Elements so iterating with the ->right() function should then work.

I will let you know the results when I get home tonight.
