in thread Screen scraping complex tables and divs

WWW::Mechanize::Firefox does and I took it as an example out of many because I worked with it in the past.

But it really depends if you need JS or not, so I don't want to go into details.

Querying Html was your question, something like xpath or css selector is mostly the solution.

Regarding the Perl backend: it depends.

Sorry there is no generic answer for TIMTOWTDI .
