[Linux-disciples] Using a parser to delete the child

[Stephen R Laniel]

I'm using HTML::TreeBuilder [1] and HTML::Element [2] -- the
former of which inherits from the latter -- to parse some
HTML. I've used it so far to extract any elements which have
'class="contentCol"'. Now what I'd like to do is

1) delete the 'class="contentCol"' tag and any corresponding
   close tags
2) delete any child -- not any other descendants, just
   children -- of the 'class="contentCol"' elements, if and
   only if the 'class="contentCol"' is a table and the
   children are <td>, <tr>, etc.

I'm just getting started with recursive-descent parsers, so
I'm a little unsure how to encode my wishes. Can anyone out
there with more experience on such things help a guy 
out?
