I've used a stack to keep track of opening/closing li tags.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
my $html = do{local $/; <DATA>};
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(\$html)
or die "can't parse string: $!\n";
while (my $t = $p->get_token){
last if $t->is_end_tag('span');
}
my ($match, @li_stack);
while (my $t = $p->get_token){
if ($t->is_start_tag('li')){
push @li_stack, 'li';
}
if ($t->is_end_tag('li')){
if (@li_stack){
pop @li_stack;
}
else{
last;
}
}
$match .= $t->as_is;
}
print "$match\n";
__DATA__
<li><span class="title">Title</span><ul><li>one</li><li>two</li></ul>
+MATCH HERE </li>
output:
<ul><li>one</li><li>two</li> MATCH HERE
update:
Added output.
