HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath (0.09)

I was kind of disappointed because I thought this module would help eliminate some of the cruft and needless looping and checking for defined parent elements that the traditional HTML::TreeBuilder requires. It does not. It is fairly limited in its ability to just wrap a ->look_down call. You'll still have to map over lists returned and call $_->getValue() . I don't _think_ XPath differentiates between finding a node and finding a value, this module does, and that hurts usability.

This in my eyes should return a list of src attributes for all img elements that have class="mainPhoto"
$root->findvalue( '//img[@class="mainPhoto"]/@src' );

Instead you're left to do:
map $_->getValue('src')
, $root->findnodes( '//img[@class="mainVehiclePhoto"]/@src' )
;

Moose (0.24)

I totally revoke my last (negative) review. This is the best module ever.

The only thing lacking is the documentation which leaves the connections about the utility of the module to made by the reader. The bottom line is Moose is more than syntactic sugar, making everything lazy => 1, default => sub {}, leads to a whole new way to program. OOP without constructors (sub new{}) or destructors, a most elegant solution.
