"Let me tell you why I would like to shift away from IMDB. It's that when I save the dom file to disc, it's 2.2 megs, which is nowhere near what I can lay eyes on and understand. Machines get it with the help of javascript, but I am only intermediate at best in my understanding of any of the matters I am writing about now."
One of the nice things about Mojo::DOM is the support for CSS Selectors (see the Mojo docs section Learning Web Technologies). You don;t have to figure these out for yourself, you can use your browsers 'developer tools' GUI to click on things and copy their CSS selector/path. Searching for a tutorial for whatever browser you use should produce many videos/tutorials demoing this sort of thing. The selectors aren't always optimal, just looking at the HTML source can often point to much shorter selectors in many cases. Mojo::UserAgent makes it fairly simple to send data to web interfaces, and the return object contains the resulting DOM (->res->dom above) which you can then use to display/capture whatever data you like. Give it a shot and let me know if you have any problems.

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).
