HTML::DOM, version 0.051

HTML::DOM is a Perl implementation of the HTML Document Object Model

This is an alpha release.  So far,  the level-2 core,  HTML and event
DOM interfaces have been implemented,  and some of the level-2  style
sheet interfaces.


RECENT CHANGES

See the Changes file for the long version.

0.051
-----
Bug fix:  write() no longer dies inside an element handler if the doc-
ument has no root element.

0.050
-----
Bug fixes:
• $doc->cookie no longer lists cookies from the request object in add-
  ition to those from the cookie jar.
• HTML::DOM::Interface  now makes sure that all modules providing con-
  stants are loaded.

0.049
-----
New feature:  <button>  elements are  now  treated  as  real  buttons,
instead of being ignored by most form-handling functionality.  Thanks
to a certain Martin for providing a patch upon which this  was  based
(RT #70499).
