The modules present in +this collection are: + + HTML::Parser - The parser base class. It receives arbitrary sized + chunks of the HTML text, recognizes markup elements, and + separates them from the plain text. As different kinds of markup + and text are recognized, the corresponding event handlers are + invoked. + + HTML::Entities - Provides functions to encode and decode text with + embedded HTML <entities>. + + HTML::HeadParser - A lightweight HTML::Parser subclass that extracts + information from the <HEAD> section of an HTML document. + + HTML::LinkExtor - An HTML::Parser subclass that extracts links from + an HTML document. + + HTML::PullParser - An alternative interface to the basic parser + that does not require event driven programming. + + HTML::TokeParser - An HTML::PullParser subclass with fixed + token setup and methods for extracting text. Many simple + parsing needs are probably best attacked with this module. + +In addition take a look at the HTML-Tree package that build on +HTML::Parser to create and extract information from HTML syntax trees +(similar to HTML DOM). + + +PREREQUISITES + +In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version +5.8 or better. The HTML::Tagset module should be installed. + +If you intend to use the HTML::HeadParser you probably want to install +libwww-perl too. + + +INSTALLATION + +Just follow the usual procedure: + + perl Makefile.PL + make + make test + make install + + +REPORTING BUGS + +Bug reports and issues for discussion about these modules can be sent +to the <libwww@perl.org> mailing list. + + +COPYRIGHT + + © 1995-2009 Gisle Aas.
