use 5.010;
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
my $tree= HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new;
my $html = <<'HTML';
<html>
<title>four</title>
<head>
<title>one</title>
</head>
<body>
<title>two</title>
</body>
<title>three</title>
</html>
HTML
$tree->parse($html);
say $tree->findvalue( '/html/head/title');
I was expecting this to print 'one', but instead it printed 'fouronetwothree'.
Am I misunderstand what XPath is supposed to do?
Should I use some other module?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
