Would HTML::TreeBuilder be a good choice to fetch data?

<p>I've minimal experience with it, mainly because each time I pick it up, I've found the interface cumbersome, and unwieldy to use. And it's pretty slow, relatively speaking, although I don't consider that to be an important point.</p>
<p>I find [cpan://HTML::Parser] much easier to use (although you have to invest some time in learning how to use it). If you install it via a package, do yourself a favour and track down the examples directory that is bundled with the distribution. You will probably find an example that you can adapt to the problem at hand.</p>
<p>It's a complex tool that's worthwhile mastering if you have to grovel around in HTML files.</p>
