If you don't mean those, what do you mean?
You can always simply fetch the raw page source and run regexps on it.
Is that more what you mean?

I have a few scrapers written but would like to see if there are any
libraries available. I don't mean Mechanize and Hpricot or any other
parsers for (X)HTML.

Yeah.
I wrote a little article on this about a year ago, and I almost fell off the chair when it was referenced in 'Learning Ruby' from O'Reilly.
It describes different web scraping possibilities in Ruby:
http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails
Since then I wrote a web scraping framework, scRUBYt! - based on the gem download stats (nearly 8000) it's very popular. It's also very actively developed and ... well enough self-advertisement, please read the rubyrailways article and decide it for yourself 
Cheers,
Peter
