Hello, I am the HTML::Parser nazi. I go around commenting on other people's attempts to parse HTML, and I always yell at them for trying to do something that's very hard themselves, and tell them to use HTML::Parser.

I intended to do that here.

I tried to break tilly's code.

I failed.

Damn.

So while I still don't necessarily understand why one wouldn't use HTML::Parser, as far as I can see this is clean. Excellent stuff. I'm very impressed.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
