in reply to HTML Parser suggestions

I'm biased, but I'll suggest HTML::HTML5::Parser. It uses the HTML5 parsing algorithm, so if faced with messy tag soup HTML, should very closely match how most desktop browsers parse HTML.

Quick example:

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::HTML5::Parser;
use XML::LibXML::QuerySelector;

my @elements = HTML::HTML5::Parser::
    -> load_html(location => "http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=101298
+0")
    -> querySelectorAll("title");

say for @elements;
