Chapter 10. Modifying HTML with Trees

In Chapter 9, we saw how to extract information from HTML trees. But that's not the only thing you can use trees for. HTML::TreeBuilder trees can be altered and can even be written back out as HTML, using the as_HTML( ) method. There are four ways in which a tree can be altered: you can alter a node's attributes; you can delete a node; you can detach a node and reattach it elsewhere; and you can add a new node. We'll treat each of these in turn.
