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.

0.038
-----
Bug fix:  A run-time require  that was causing problems in taint mode
has been removed.

0.037
-----
New feature: getElementsByClassName

0.036
-----
Incompatible change: Â&nbsp;A newly-created HTML::DOM  object no longer has
html, head and body elements. These are not created until open, write
or parse_file is called.
New features:
â€¢Â&nbsp;New innerText method on HTML elements
â€¢ css_url_fetcher now returns the previously assigned value.
â€¢Â&nbsp;css_url_fetcher no longer clobbers an existing link element handler,
  because it now uses a new, separate mechanism.
A long list of bug fixes.

0.035
-----
â€¢Â&nbsp;getElementById can now once more see sub-elements of forms.
â€¢ The base method is no longer affected by  previous  regexp  matches.
