Actually, no you don't: =item $p->parse( $string ) Parse $string as the next chunk of the HTML document. The return value is normally a reference to the parser object (i.e. $p). Handlers invoked should not attempt modify the $string in-place until $p->parse returns. If an invoked event handler aborts parsing by calling $p->eof, then $p->parse() will return a FALSE value.
