If there is a better list for discussing HTML::TokeParser, I can post
there. I have a code snippet which successfully extracts a piece of a
web page. However, something goes south with the conversion to text.
What should come out as the following
Temperature 3.2°C
Humidity 94%
Dew point 2.3°C
actually comes out as this
Temperature 3.2��C
Humidity 94%
Dew�point 2.3��C
and it chokes conky, which is what is calling the script. How do I get
TokeParser to translate to space and use the correct degree symbol?
The script is below and the target URL is
http://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/weather/rovaniemi

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use LWP::Simple;
my $url = shift || '-';
my $weather = get( $url );
my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$weather) or
die "Can't open: $!";
$p->empty_element_tags(1); # configure its behaviour
while ( my $token = $p->get_tag('table') ) {
next unless $token->[1]{class} eq 'observation-text';
while ( my $token = $p->get_tag('td') ) {
my $tag = $p->get_text('/td');
print qq($tag\n);
}
last;
}
