parsing HTML

[Andrew Gaffney]

I am trying to build a HTML editor for use with my HTML::Mason site. I intend 
for it to support nested tables, SPANs, and anchors. I am looking for a module 
that can help me parse existing HTML (custom or generated by my scripts) into a 
tree structure similar to:

my $html = [ { tag => 'table', id => 'maintable', width => 300, content =>
               [ { tag => 'tr', content =>
                 [
                   { tag => 'td', width => 200, content => "some content" },
                   { tag => 'td', width => 100, content => "more content" }
                 ]
               ]
           ]; # Not tested, but you get the idea
which would correspond to the following HTML:
<table id="maintable" width="300">
<tr>
<td width="200">some content</td>
<td width="100">more content</td>
</tr>
</table>
Once I have the data in the tree, I can easily modify it and transform it back 
into HTML. Is there a module that can help make this easier or should I go about 
this differently?
