HTML::DOM, version 0.031 HTML::DOM is a Perl implementation of the HTML Document Object Model This is an alpha release. So far, the level-2 core HTML and event DOM interfaces have been implemented, and some of the level-2 style sheet interfaces. RECENT CHANGES See the Changes file for the long version. 0.031 ----- Bug fix: To conform to what ‘real’ web browsers do, a form’s elements collection no longer includes image buttons. Thanks to Steven Nikkel for reporting this problem. 0.030 ----- New methods: • EventTarget’s attr_event_listener method • lastModified • Form’s encoding method • A and area elements now have hash, host, etc. properties that refer to parts of the linked URL. Other stuff: • The body element now delegates ‘onload’ et al. to the window. • Improvements to the init method of event objects. • The write and writeln methods now accept multiple arguments. • Various bug fixes 0.029 ----- HTML::DOM::Element::Form’s elements method, when called in list cont- ext, was ignoring the magic associations added in the previous ver- sion. Thanks to Terry Simons for the bug report. TO DO - Finish Level 2 CSS support - outerHTML/innerText? - Other DOM interfaces (the rest of level 2, and level 3) - HTML 5 stuff - Write more complete documentation - Write more tests - Finishing checking for memory leaks (run all tests under Devel::Leak::Object) INSTALLATION The easiest way to install this module is to use the CPAN module or the cpan script: [sudo] perl -MCPAN -e "install HTML::DOM" [sudo] cpan HTML::DOM Or you can use the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test [sudo] make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires perl 5.8.2 or later and the following Perl modules: - Scalar::Util 1.14 or later - Exporter 5.57 or later - HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::Element (both part of the HTML::Tree distribution) (tested with 3.23) - URI (tested with 1.35) - LWP 1.13 or later - CSS::DOM 0.07 or later - HTML::Encoding is required if the parse_file method is to be used. - constant::lexical - Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc HTML::DOM Or try using man (it's faster, in my experience): man HTML::DOM COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2007-9 Father Chrysostomos This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as perl.
