Lately, there seems to be a rash of "How do I parse this HTML with a regex?"
questions on various perl lists. Although Perlfaq6 and Perlfaq9 both hint at
the answer, they are not as explicit as they should be.
 
So I think we should add the question, with an answer that steers people to
one of the various HTML parsing modules available.
 
A somewhat related comment is that HTML::Parser is recommended in the FAQ in
a few places, but that should no longer be the advice we're giving newbies.
There are newer parsing modules that are both easier to use and use more
modern techniques.
 
Thanks.
