    XML::LibXML is going to be the fastest; if you'll be in IO a bit, you'll have to benchmark to see how much faster. XML::Twig is the most Perly and probably the easiest and most flexible to hack for most Perl hackers. HTML::TokeParser::Simple or HTML::TokeParser will be the most reliable since certain HTML files will simply be too invalid for the others to handle.

    A serious application that really needed the speed...? I'd try:

    • XML::LibXML
      • Worked? Next.
      • Failed to parse? Use HTML::TokeParser. Next.

    Read the Pod for the modules. They will all take different kinds of arguments: files, file handles, strings.

    (update: fixed typo.)

      Thanks for u'r answer. I did benchmark and it was LibXML that was the faster one.
