NAME
WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Web::Scraper - Scrape the planet!
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable->new();
$mech->get("http://search.cpan.org/");
$mech->submit_form(
form_name => "f",
fields => {
query => "WWW::Mechanize"
}
);
my $results = $mech->scrape( "/html/body/h2/a", "results[]",
{ title => "TEXT", url => '@href' }
);
DESCRIPTION
"WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Web::Scraper" gives you the scraping power of
Web::Scraper in WWW::Mechanize, hence the name ...
METHODS
scrape
"scrape" is the only new method that can be called (as of yet) and
accepts process information as described in Web::Scraper. Note that the
function *process* can (and should) be omitted. The scraper will use the
current WWW::Mechanize content, so make sure to "browse" to the right
page before calling the scrape function.
SEE ALSO
WWW::Mechanize
WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable
Web::Scraper
BUGS
"Bugs?" Most likely you want to pester either Andy (if WWW::Mechanize is
broken), Joe (if WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable isn't working as expected) or
Tatsuhiko (the Web::Scraper mastermind).
If these three people can't help, it then might be possible that this
module is to blame (ok, I admit it, this module probably *is* to blame
to begin with). Please be so kind to report it to
<http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=WWW-Mechanize-Plugin-Web-Sc
raper>.
