Re: Adding 2 + 2

Yet another look at it...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::Parser;

# 'print' URL to save a smidge of bandwidth
my $url = "http://perlmonks.org/?displaytype=print;node_id=31832";
if (my $page = get($url)) {
    my $parser = HTML::Parser->new( api_version => 3 );
    $parser->handler( start => sub {
            return if shift ne 'title';
            my $self = shift;
            $self->handler( text => sub {
                    my $title = shift;
                    # Only ready for 4-function math with integers
                    if ($title =~ m#((\d+) (\+) (\d+))#) {
                        print "$1 = ", eval("$2 $3 $4"), "\n";
                    }
                }, 'dtext'
            );
            $self->handler( end => sub {
                    shift->eof if shift eq 'title' ;
                }, 'tagname,self'
            );
        },
        'tagname,self'
    );

    $parser->parse($page);
}
else {
    print "Unable to fetch '$url' for some reason.\n";
}

I chose to leave the database layer out of it this time.

Funny, parsing out the code from the HTML. But you could just ask the code from the server directly, such as seen in Usually J.A.P.H. or Re^2: Short quines.
