We have tried to 1.11 +make it able to deal with the HTML that is actually "out there", 1.12 +and it normally parses as closely as possible to the way the 1.13 +popular web browsers do it instead of strictly following one 1.14 +of the many HTML specifications from W3C. 1.15 +Where there is disagreement, there is often an option that 1.16 +you can enable to get the official behaviour. 1.17 + 1.18 +The document to be parsed may be supplied in arbitrary chunks. 1.19 +This makes on-the-fly parsing as documents are received from 1.20 +the network possible. 1.21 + 1.22 +If event driven parsing does not feel right for your application, 1.23 +you might want to use HTML::PullParser. 1.24 +This is an HTML::Parser subclass that allows a more conventional 1.25 +program structure.
