Subject: @{text} argspec used in hform example does not work reliably
I copied the @{text} argspec notation from the hfrom example, which looks useful, but it seems to sometimes return undef when it is not expected to. The notation is not documented; is it deprecated?

Actually, now that I put it that way, the issue is merely that it returns a blank string where I'm still expecting an arrayref with one element. So the only question is, is that notation supported? Thanks, JT

It's documented and ought to work. Just search for '@{text}' in the HTML::Parser manpage. Please provide example code then demonstrates when it returns undef and I'll fix it.

You're right, apologies for cluttering your queue, and thanks for the extremely prompt reply.
