I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Simon Cozen's Cozens' 10 modules I wouldn't go anywhere without. The link is to a brief summary by jdavidb over on Use Perl; of a Talk given at last years OS CON.

I've installed these on my development box and I'm exploring the one's I wasn't already familiar with. Seems like an interesting selection.

Personally, I'm sold on HTML::TreeBuilder. I haven't used other methods of parsing HTML very much, well except for regular expressions, but I find that processing them as trees is easy and safe.

Update: 09/22/2002 15:36 EDT I'd forgotten about this Bundle on CPAN. Has all of the modules and the notes from the talk wrapped up neatly.

_{Update: 09/24/2002} 17:31 - It's Cozens' not Cozen's.
