I have a bunch of scraping scripts to do various things for me, and I
mostly use HTML::TreeBuilder and then HTML::Element features. ( use
WWW::Mechanize for retrieving pages)
While it works and I am grateful, I wonder if perhaps someone invented
a better way to look for things in HTML. Something a little easier to
use with better idioms.
Any suggestions for alternative HTML scraping modules?

Have you tried HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath? It adds an XPath engine to
HTML::TreeBuilder.
