Actually, here's what I ended up with the one time. It transforms certain HTML documents to \latex{}. (I just wanted to print the documents out, but the page break algorithms in web browsers are nonexistent.) Thought you might want to see a sample of the module in action.

    my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new($html);
    my $body = $dom->at('.article-bodycopy');

    $body->find('p, table')->each(sub {
        my $node = shift;
        if ($node->{class} eq 'SubHead') {
            print '\subsection{' . $node->text . "}";
            return;
        } elsif ($node->type eq "table") {
            my $img = $node->find('img')->[0]->{src};
            my $cap = filter($node->find('.Figure1')->[0]);
            $img =~ s/\.gif/\.png/;
            print join("\n", '\begin{Figure}',
                '\centering',
                '\includegraphics[width=0.65\linewidth,' .
                'height=0.85\textheight,keepaspectratio]{' . $img . '}
+',
                '\captionof{figure}{' . $cap . '}', '\end{Figure}');
            return;
        }
        if ($node->children->size == 0) {
            print filter($node);
        } else {
            # node has sub-tags
            $node->children->each(sub {
                my $n = shift;
                my $tag = $n->type;
                if ($tag eq 'b') {
                    $n->replace('{\bf ' . $n->text . '}');
                } else {
                    print STDERR "UNHANDLED MARKUP TYPE: " . $n->type 
+. "\n";
                }
            });
            print filter($node);
        }
    });
