Description

This module combines WWW::Mechanize and HTML::TreeBuilder. Why? Because I've seen too much code like the following:

like($mech->content, qr{<p>some text</p>}, "Found the right tag");

Which is just all flavours of wrong - its akin to processing XML with regexps. Instead, do it like the following:

ok($mech->look_down(_tag => 'p', sub { $_[0]->as_trimmed_text eq 'some text' })

The anon-sub there is a bit icky, but this means that anyone should happen to add attributes to the <p> tag (such as an id or a class) it will still work and find the right tag.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 1.20000, as upstream numbers it.
