html::treebuilder::xpath gives lot more power simple hash would.

from synopsis:

  use html::treebuilder::xpath;   $tree = html::treebuilder::xpath->new;   $tree->parse_file( "mypage.html"); 

  $nb=$tree->findvalue('/html/body//p[@class="section_title"]/span[@class="nb"]');   $id=$tree->findvalue('/html/body//p[@class="section_title"]/@id');   $p= $html->findnodes('//p[@id="toto"]')->[0];    $link_texts= $p->findvalue( './a'); # texts of elements in $p    $tree->delete; # avoid memory leaks, if parse many html documents
