If you purely care about HTML tags use WWW::Mechanize's `content` method to get the page. Then you may want to use one of the HTML parsing modules to compare tags, or if what you're really trying to do is monitor for changes to static HTML content, sore and compare `$mech->content()` periodically for changes.</c>	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This should give you a basic idea: `if ( $oldcontent eq $newcontent ){ print "Nothing new here!\n"; }else{ print "Something has changed!\n"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
