in reply to Is the span tag supported by HTML:Treebuilder

you should add 
return HTML::Element::OK;

at the end of the callback subroutine to keep traversing the tree, your code stops at the first tag

    I was already returning a value of 1 to make it loop through the tree but that was one of the lines I cut for brevity. I changed it to return HTML::Element::OK but it still does not work. It will pick out all the other tags that I've tried (such as div, a, b)

      it works fine for me, with SPAN and a with few other tags i tested, did you tried with other pages? it could be due to errors in the html syntax...

        it does work with other sites!
        Damn, thats the last time I try to download the headlines from ZDNet.
