(This class is part of the HTML::Tree dist.)

This class is for HTML syntax trees that get built out of HTML source. The way 
to use it is to:

1. start a new (empty) HTML::TreeBuilder object,

2. then use one of the methods from HTML::Parser (presumably with 
$tree->parse_file($filename) for files, or with $tree->parse($document_content) 
and $tree->eof if you've got the content in a string) to parse the HTML 
document into the tree $tree.

(You can combine steps 1 and 2 with the "new_from_file" or "new_from_content" 
methods.)

2b. call $root->elementify() if you want.

3. do whatever you need to do with the syntax tree, presumably involving 
traversing it looking for some bit of information in it,

4. previous versions of HTML::TreeBuilder required you to call $tree->delete() 
to erase the contents of the tree from memory when you're done with the tree. 
This is not normally required anymore. See "Weak References" in HTML::Element 
for details.
