Thanks very much Marto! So I can understand does the > p specify the text between the <p> and </p> and the after the 'div.abstract content'? Thanks!!

This is just a CSS selector `$dom->find('div.abstract-content > p')->each` Here we are doing a search to find each `div`, with class `abstract-content` which has a child `<p>` tag. MDN has a nice section on, CSS Selectors, and plenty of other resources too. To quote Child combinator: "The child combinator (>)* is placed between two CSS selectors. It matches only those elements matched by the second selector that are the direct children of elements matched by the first."* The MDN is linked to in the basics section of the overall Mojo documentation, https://mojolicious.org/perldoc. If you have any other questions let me know.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
