This module is a simple HTML parser. It is similar in concept to HTML::Parser, but it differs in a couple of important ways. Final requirement for mimerdesk, I hope. Belongs in /dev-perl/HTML-SimpleParse

todd: in what ways does it differ?
I do not believe that this package will be required in the next version of mimerdesk, due out in a few days. So I don't know whether you still want to evaluate it for inclusion. *Ripped from readme* First, HTML::Parser knows which tags can contain other tags, which start tags have corresponding end tags, which tags can exist only in the <HEAD> portion of the document, and so forth. HTML::SimpleParse does not know any of these things. It just finds tags and text in the HTML you give it, it does not care about the specific content of these tags (though it does distiguish between different _types_ of tags, such as comments, starting tags like <b>, ending tags like </b>, and so on). Second, HTML::SimpleParse does not create a hierarchical tree of HTML content, but rather a simple linear list. It does not pay any attention to balancing start tags with corresponding end tags, or which pairs of tags are inside other pairs of tags.
Todd, Just let me know if this is still relevant. Ready to add if so.
in portage. enjoy.
