I'm using Web::Scraper module to scrape text. Given following HTML:
<p class="myClass">Blah
Blah
Blah
</p>
Note the newlines in the paragraph. I'm trying to preserve the whitespace (newlines) when scraping with this line:
process '//p[contains(@class, "myClass")]', 'paragraph' => 'TEXT
+',
This works but without newlines. I tried RAW instead of TEXT but still have the problem. I seem to remember there being a third option but I can't remember what it is. Thanks.

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).
