Changes since 0.10:
- Clarify the relationship between this module and HTML::TreeBuilder
in the documentation. [suggested by Gisle Aas]
- Moved regression tests from test.pl to t/basic.t
- Use Test.pm to output testing results.
- Avoid an 'undefined value' warning when creating a SimpleParse
object with an empty string.
- Fixed a problem that caused an infinite loop in certain bizarre
(and as yet unduplicated by me) situations. Reported by Peter Suschlik.
- Added a Build.PL script to build & install via Module::Build.
This module is a bare-bones HTML parser. It is similar in concept to
HTML::Parser, but it differs in a couple of important ways.
First, HTML::SimpleParse just finds tags and text in the HTML you give it;
it does not care about the specific content of these tags (though it does
distinguish between different _types_ of tags, such as comments, starting
tags like <b>, ending tags like </b>, and so on).
Second, HTML::SimpleParse does not create a hierarchical tree of HTML
content, but rather a simple linear list. It does not pay any attention to
balancing start tags with corresponding end tags, or which pairs of tags
are inside other pairs of tags.
Because of these characteristics, you can make a very effective HTML filter
by sub-classing HTML::SimpleParse.
