Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
HTML::TokeParser::Simple 2.0 *not* on the CPAN
I tried to release HTML::TokeParser::Simple 2.0 today, but I can't connect to PAUSE. Even pinging it gets nothing. For the time being, you can download it from this link.
It got bumped up a version number due to it being a fairly extensive revision. From the Changes file:
2.0 Sun Jun 1, 2003
is_tag, is_start_tag, and is_end_tag now can take regexes.
Added set_attr and delete_attr methods to rewrite tags on the fly
Converted to Test::More and doubled the number of tests
Updated POD
Updated Makefile.PL to list Test::More as a requirement
Deprecated 'return_text' now carps
I'm particularly happy with the attribute munging methods. People repeatedly parse HTML to alter the attributes. Now you can do that on the fly:
# <p foo="bar">
$token->delete_attr('foo');
$token->set_attr('class', 'some_class');
# <p class="some_class">
I pour myself a cup of strong coffee. :-)

Glad you like it. People kept trying to change attributes, I kept posting examples of how to do it and I even had one in the POD. It was time to move it into the module itself. I think it's probably the single most useful feature I've put in there.
