in reply to Preserving newlines with Web::Scraper

Dug through the source code and hacked Web::Scraper to add the following to line #118: $t->no_space_compacting(1)

This changes the behavior of HTML::TreeBuilder module used by Web::Scraper to find the nodes in the HTML document. Maybe there is a better way, though?

UPDATE: this comment was made shortly after first comment without seeing it so is duplicative.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
