Re^4: Naive idea : using XSH with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, to make faster XPath queries ?

As said here 951038 by Corion :
"WWW::Mechanize::Firefox only works with Firefox. There is no way to make HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath objects work with it."

WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->xpath() returns MozRepl::RemoteObject, which are i think internal (to Firefox) Javascript objects.
While HTML:TreeBuilder::XPath returns and deals with HTML::Element, which are extracted from the HTML source, and thus don't take Javascript into account.
Is that right?

I am still curious about the utility of using both XPath and Tree. Is it any different from using a Tree on its own?

PS : i'll try to use HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML and see what difference it makes with a tree in terms of : - algorithm; - language fluidity and readability ( shall i call this "poetry" ? ); - speed; and report my results here.	[reply]
