This is how you might do it with HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath:
use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
my $html = q|
<ul><li>The following Host Names were requested from a host database:<
+/li>
<ul>
<li>192.5.5.241</li>
<li>192.5.5.242</li>
</ul></ul>
|;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new;
$tree->parse($html);
$tree->eof;
my @wanted;
my @nodes = $tree->findnodes('//ul');
for my $node ( @nodes ) {
my $text = $node->findvalue('li') or next;
$text =~ m/^The following Host Name/ or next;
@wanted = $node->findvalues('ul/li');
last;
}
print Dumper \@wanted;
Output:
$VAR1 = [
'192.5.5.241',
'192.5.5.242'
];

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).
