Thanks moritz.
I wanted to propose HTML::LinkExtract as a name, but then I found HTML::LinkExtor and HTML::LinkExtractor - maybe you can build it on top of one of those modules, or maybe extend them, or maybe they already do what you want?

I believe HTML::LinkExtract does a fair bit of what I am proposing, but I would like to provide for some additional functionality and subtly different access methods.

I find that these access methods make the writing of a crawler slightly easier.

Maybe it could be "HTML::LinkExtor::Simple" or "HTML::LinkExtor::Spider". I am not sure if it should be altogether different and be named "HTML::Spider::LinkExtor".

Also I am not sure I understand the difference between extend and build on top of - If I am looking at say "HTML::LinkExtor::Simple" should I get in touch with the author of "HTML::LinkExtor"?

With regard to the rest (Clean and TreeBuilder) - it makes perfect sense, Thanks for that.
