Bug#618372: RFA: libhtml-tableextract-perl -- module for extracting the content contained in tables within an HTML document

[Florian Ernst <florian_ernst@gmx.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libhtml-tableextract-perl package.

The package description is:
 HTML::TableExtract is a module that simplifies the extraction of information
 contained in tables within HTML documents, either as text or encoded element
 trees.
 .
 For extracting a tree structure of element objects, the additional package
 libhtml-element-extended-perl might be needed.

Nothing wrong with the package. Packaging is easy, new upstream releases
rarely take place nowadays. It could be updated to a new debhelper
compatibility level, and maybe there are some new specifics in the Perl
Policy I might have missed. Basically, I for myself don't use this
package anymore.
I'd prefer the new maintainer to keep close ties to the Perl Maintainers.

Cheers,
Flo
