in thread Why I like functional programming
No, you're absolutely right that HTML::Parser in and of itself wouldn't do a good job for this specific problem. My point in posting was really twofold:
- Writing a parser like this is very very difficult to get right, and usually it's better to find an existing tool that's already been stress-tested. You got it right because you know what you're doing, but I doubt many others would be able to execute like that.
- Ovid's initial problem, which apparently was the seed for your post, was tailor-made for HTML::Parser.
