[ARTICLE] HTML Scraping Using WWW::Mechanize

ruby-talk

Recent discussion here on HTML parsing and using Michael Neumann's outstanding Mechanize library prompted me to straighten up some code and write up an explanation of how I parse CafePress pages to build the rubystuff.com Web site.

I've put the draft up at:

http://neurogami.com/cafe-fetcher/

Not sure if that will be the long-term home, though.

Comments welcome.
