Question

I have a Internet explorer navigate to a page and I am able to get the page in an array. What I want to do is get content of a div file, for example the page returns

<div class="someClass">Text in div</div> 

and I want to get that text, how would I do it? I was thinking of trying

->content("someClass");

but it wouldn’t work.

With Web::Query:

use Web::Query qw();
use WWW::Mechanize qw();
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new;
$mech->get('file:///tmp/so11056483.html');
Web::Query
    ->new_from_html($mech->content)
    ->find('div.someClass')
    ->text

expression returns the string Text in div
