Perl HTML parsing - look_down

look_down is a method of HTML::Element.

If an attr_value parameter is a qr() then it is supposed to do a regexp match for you, but I couldn't make this work. I had to use

$link = $root->look_down( _tag => 'a', sub { $_[0]->attr('title') =~ qr(^Cool); } );

instead of

$link = $root->look_down( _tag => 'a', title => qr(^Cool) );
