Hi,
I am not sure where to post this HTML::Parser related question but
this list seems to be close
and Gisle is frequent here (and the Perl Monks did not give me a
solution) so I hope you'll
forgive me:
Using HTML:Parser it is unclear to me how am I supposed to notice when
a tag - that's end tag is missing has indeed ended? It seems that in
some cases I get an explicit end event but in other cases I don't.
See the example code:
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Parser ();
sub event_handler {
my ($event, $elem) = @_;
print "$event $elem\n";
}
my $p = HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3);
$p->handler( start => \&event_handler, "event, tagname");
$p->handler( end => \&event_handler, "event, tagname");
$p->parse('<head><title>abc</title></head>');
$p->eof;
print "----\n";
$p->parse('<head><title>abc</head>');
$p->eof;
print "----\n";
$p->parse('<ul><li>abc</li><li>def</ul>');
$p->eof;
exit;
The result of which is
start head
start title
end title
end head
----
start head
start title
end title
end head
----
start ul
start li
end li
start li
end ul
That is, the missing </title> tag explicitly generated and end-even
while the missing </li> did not.
regards
Gabor
