The www/p5-WWW-Mechanize-TreeBuilder port

p5-WWW-Mechanize-TreeBuilder-1.20000p0 – combines WWW::Mechanize and HTML::TreeBuilder (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

This module combines WWW::Mechanize and HTML::TreeBuilder. Why? Because
I've seen too much code like the following:

 like($mech->content, qr{

some text

}, "Found the right tag"); Which is just all flavours of wrong - its akin to processing XML with regexps. Instead, do it like the following: ok($mech->look_down(_tag => 'p', sub { $_[0]->as_trimmed_text eq 'some text' }) The anon-sub there is a bit icky, but this means that anyone should happen to add attributes to the

tag (such as an id or a class) it will still work and find the right tag.
