App::scrape is more limited - it just uses CSS selectors to build up a Perl data structure from an HTML page. Handy yes, but Web::Magic does much more than that.

Can App::scrape handle YAML seamlessly?

use Web::Magic -sub=>'web';
say web('http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/W/Web-Magic.yaml')
  ->[0]{guid};
[download]

Or feeds?

use Web::Magic -sub=>'web';
say $_->title
  foreach web('http://www.w3.org/News/atom.xml')->entries;
[download]

Or for that matter JSON, RDF, arbitrary XML, etc?

And how about POST requests?

use 5.010;
use Web::Magic -sub => 'web';

# Paste to paste2.org, and say the URL it was pasted to
say web('http://paste2.org/new-paste')
  ->POST({
      code        => 'say "Hello world";',
      lang        => 'perl',
      description => 'Perl Hello World',
      parent      => 0,
      submit      => 'Submit',
    })
  ->Content_Type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
  ->header('Location');

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
