HTML::Element
The HTML::Element module provides methods for dealing with nodes in an HTML syntax tree. You can get or set the contents of each node, traverse the tree, and delete a node.
HTML::Element objects are used to represent elements of HTML. These elements include start and end tags, attributes, contained plain text, and other nested elements.
The constructor for this class requires the name of the tag for its first argument. You may optionally specify initial attributes and values as hash elements in the constructor. For example:
$h = HTML::Element->new('a', 'href' => 'http:www.oreilly.com');The new element is created for the anchor tag, <a>, which links to the URL through
its href attribute.
The following methods are provided for objects of the HTML::Element class.
