HTML::TokeParser::Simple is a subclass of HTML::TokeParser that uses easy-to-remember method calls to work with the tokens. Rather than try to remember a bunch of array indices or try to write a bunch of constants for them, you can now do something like: $token->is_start_tag( 'form' ) Instead of $token->[0] eq 'S' and $token->[1] eq 'form' WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-TokeParser-Simple/
