in reply to Parsing incorrect html

Hello seki,

I tried with XML::Twig and i got quite good results: see XML::Twig tutorial

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Twig;

my $t= XML::Twig->new(
                   pretty_print => 'indented',
                   twig_handlers  => {           # $_[1] is the elemen
+t
                        'html/body/html' => sub{ $_[1]->print;}
                   });
my $data =<<EOXML;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script>/*some ugly header stuff*/</script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <html>
            <head>
                <script>/*some embedded document*/</script>
            </head>
            <body>
                <h1>Hello</h1>
                <p>this is a test</p>
                <p>this is a second test</p>
            </body>
        </html>
        <p>some kind of wrapped footer</p>
    </body>
</html>

EOXML
$t->parse( $data);

## output


   <html>
     <head>
       <script>/*some embedded document*/</script>
     </head>
     <body>
       <h1>Hello</h1>
       <p>this is a test</p>
       <p>this is a second test</p>
     </body>
   </html>
