forgive me my brethern but it looks I did bite off more then I could chew and again I endup with bits I can not put together

the example of
my $nodes = $xml->findnodes('//*[local-name()="title"]')
wasn't to much to understand, altohug quite surprised with the construction of the xpath-expression; I would had expected something more easy like
my $nodes = $xml->findnodes('//html/head/title]')
But ofcourse, it wouldn't be me if I would get it wrong again

With HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath it did work, even things like giving me all the table rows from a specific path and dump as text with 

my @stuff =
    $tree->findvalues( '//td[@class="BTrow"]/table/tr/td/table/tr');
print Dumper(\@stuff);

Trying that with HTML::HTML5::Parser only resulted in undefined results

It looks to me I'm missing some bit

please toby, and others as well, what am I doing wrong here, it can't be the xpath syntax, is it?

thank you all for your enlighting words and inspiration
