HTML-Tree (3.1901)

This is a really great module for doing HTML processing. I worked with it for a project for a friend, and then as part of WWW::Search, and I found it extremely convenient. It gets the job done quickly.

The documentation is very good. If you find this module useful, you should also look at HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath which extends the power of HTML::TreeBuilder with XPath expressions.

HTML-Tree (3.1901)

I used to do my HTML munging in HTML::TokeParser. The TokeParser is a useful module, but it's very different from the kind of tree-traversal that you get used to after writing JavaScript. If you are used to working with HTML via the JavaScript DOM, HTML::Tree will be much more like what you're used to. In fact, you'll start wishing that the DOM was more like HTML::Tree.

The documentation layout is unusual, but the documentation itself is quite good. If you need to muck about with HTML, this is the place to start.

Excellent, easy to use module. Gets the job done. More examples would be nice.

HTML-Tree (3.18)

This has been my HTML handling module of the month; I dragged it out on four separate occasions to get something done, and it hasn't let me down. It's by far the easiest way I've found of manipulating HTML documents.

It's a very good module...
But, you should have a a very good and fast server, if you want to work with big html's quickly...

Note: if you have trouble with this module, you probably didn't read the docs very well.
