Esteemed Monks,
I am using HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath module, and when I try to use the text() directive in the XPath lookup, the module fails:
$tree->findnodes_as_string('/html/body//td/text()');
I get the following error:
Can't locate object method "toString" via package "HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath::TextNode" at .../lib/XML/XPathEngine.pm line 125
So I have found out that this is a known bug with this module. (See here) My question is:
Can you recommend a reliable CPAN module which I can use to parse HTML and run an XPath query on it?
Thanks a lot.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
