I want to learn something about HTML parser.

I am a new of perl. Now I need to use perl to parse html to xml and to
get "tree like" object tree in order to scan nodes of it one bye one.
This project is a method of "html scan" in our team.

Pls give me a module or a plan to teach me how to make this objects
tree.
Thank you!

Did you check CPAN?
Did you check the modules that come with your Perl installation?

The HTML::Element module:
http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/HTML-Tree-3.1901/lib/HTML/E lement.pm

in the HTML::TreeBuilder distribution will help with this.

Sounds like you want XML::LibXML. It can parse HTML (as well as arbitrary
XML) into a tree structure that follows the DOM standard, lets you
manipulate the tree, and can write the modified tree out as XML.
