Based on advise from Michel Rodriguez, author of XML::Twig, I am trying to employ ->findnodes() to parse from an html file a the content of each li tag. This is what I've got so far:

sub parse_mm_archive_cycle {
  my $self = shift;
  my $base_url = shift;
  my $cycle = shift;
  $cycle =~ s/:$//;

  my $url = "$base_url/$cycle/date.html";
  print STDERR $url, "\n";
  $self->{'agent'}->get( $url );
  my $html = $self->{'agent'}->content();

  $self->{'twig'}->parseurl($url,$self->{'agent'});
  print STDERR 'Our twig objects is: ' . Dumper($self->{'twig'});
  # $self->{'twig'}->parseurl($url);
  # my $root = $self->{'twig'}->root;
  for my $story ($self->{'twig'}->findnodes("li")){
    print STDERR 'Next story: ' . Dumper($story);
  }

  return; # $html;
}

But this keeps throwing an error on the ->parseurl line, reading:

syntax error at line 1, column 48, byte 48 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parse
+r.pm line 187
 at lib/CF/mmFeedParser.pm line 113

Can anyone who has used this before please offer some advise?

if( $lal && $lol ) { $life++; }
if( $insurance->rationing() ) { $people->die(); }

In reply to XML::Twig won't parse my url by hesco
