It's designed to be a useful quick-and-dirty parser for screen-scraping,
along the same lines as its parent:
1. Rubyful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree
that makes approximately as much sense as your original document.
This is usually good enough to collect the data you need and then run away.
2. Rubyful Soup provides a few simple methods and Ruby-like idioms for
navigating and searching a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document
and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom parser for
each application. It's more flexible and easier to learn than XPath.

TGWebServices provides a super simple API for creating web services
that are available via SOAP, HTTP->XML, and HTTP->JSON.
The SOAP API generates WSDL automatically for your Python and even
generates enough type information for statically typed languages
(Java and C#, for example) to generate good client code on their end.

Sitemaps.org specification.
The module maintains a short change history for nodes in order to better
approximate the change frequency. It calculates the relative priority of
each node based on node type, number of comments, and promotion. It can
optionally submit your sitemap to Google (support for other search engines
will be added once they support the ping interface) whenever it is changed
and can log when your sitemap is downloaded by a search engine.
This module was originally written as a part of the Google Summer of Code
program.

with the organization of data in a form - parameters can be an
arbitrarily deep nested structure.
The way this structure is denoted is that when you construct a form the
field names have a special syntax which is parsed.
This plugin supports two syntaxes:
dot notation
<input name="foo.bar.gorch" />
subscript notation
<input name="foo[bar][gorch]" />
When reading query parameters from $c->req you can now access all the
items starting with "foo" as one entity using $c->req->param('foo');.
Each subitem, denoted by either the dot or the square brackets, will be
returned as a further deeper hashref.
