HTML::Parser

This module implements the base class for the other HTML modules. A parser object is created with the new constructor:

$p = HTML::Parser->new(  );

The constructor takes no arguments.

The parser object takes methods that read in HTML from a string or a file. The string-reading method can take data in several smaller chunks if the HTML is too big. Each chunk of HTML will be appended to the object, and the eof method indicates the end of the document. These basic methods are described below.
