hi,
for a nagios (monitoring system) check I need to scrape a web site
(this is for a network device, a UPS, whatever). This particular
device only offers some functionality through a web interface.
I get the content of the site using WWW::Mechanize after login in
(this is really simple using the submit_form method, by the way).
Then I save the text of the website in a variable like this:
my $text = $mech->text();
if ( $text =~ /critical alarm/i ) {
print "Bingo\n";
}
This works, if I unplug something I get the critical alarm, I replug
the stuff and the string does not match anymore.
$text has this (very long line):

I am only interested in the text '1 Critical Alarm PresentA site
wiring fault exists'; is it possible to match this is a simple way (in
fact, the text after 'Critical Alarm Present' may vary, it would be
awesome to be able to get that easily. Otherwise I am afraid I will
have to start parsing html with HTML::TableExtract
