NAME

HTML::Scrape - Helper functions for scraping text from HTML tags

VERSION

Version 0.3.0

SYNOPSIS

Handy helpers for common HTML scraping tasks.

    use HTML::Scrape;

    my $ids = HTML::Scrape::scrape_all_ids( $html );

WARNINGS

You can enable parsing warnings by setting $HTML::Scrape::WARNINGS to a true value. By default, no warnings are emitted.

NOTES FOR FUTURE DOCS

If a tag exists but has no content, including empty tags like <hr>, then it will have an empty string for content. This way you can test for existence of these tags.

FUNCTIONS

scrape_id( $id, $html )

Scrapes the text of the single ID $id from $html.

scrape_all_ids( $html [, $specific_id ] )

Parses the entire web page and returns all the text in a hashref keyed on ID.

If you pass in $specific_id, then only that ID will be scraped, and parsing will stop once it is found. The better way to do this is by calling scrape_id.
