HTML::DOM is a Perl implementation of the HTML Document Object Model

This is an alpha release.  So far,  the level-2 core and  HTML  DOM
interfaces have been implemented, and some of the level-2 event and
style sheet interfaces.


CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE

New features:
â€¢ HTML::DOM::Interface now indicates which members have UTF-16
  equivalents.
â€¢ Changes to conform to the Level-2 HTML DOM module (see the
  Changes file).
â€¢ HTML::DOM::Exception now has a â€˜codeâ€™Â&nbsp;method. I donâ€™t know how I
  missed this.
â€¢ The brand new shiny default_event_handler_for method has been added.
  It makes it less cumbersome to provide default behaviours for diffe-
  rent event types.
â€¢ All HTML elements now have a click method--something from HTML 5 (I
  seem to be getting ahead of myself).
Bug fixes â€” see the Changes file
