Lately, there seems
to be a rash of "How do I parse this HTML with a regex?" questions on various
perl lists. Although Perlfaq6 and Perlfaq9 both hint at the answer, they are not
as explicit as they should be.
So I think we should
add the question, with an answer that steers people to one of the various HTML
parsing modules available.
A somewhat related
comment is that HTML::Parser is recommended in the FAQ in a few places, but that
should no longer be the advice we're giving newbies. There are newer parsing
modules that are both easier to use and use more modern
techniques.
Thanks.
