Hey,
It appears that your knowledge of Web::Scraper has greatly improved since your original post.
In answer to your query "I still do not understand why the syntax of this package is this way", the module does not construct its object in the conventional manner. In Perl, there are many ways to achieve equal outcomes, do not necessarily regard Web::Scraper as a model example.
Remember that Web::Scraper is basically an interface to more extensive classes, with the benefit of simplifying the core scraping process for the programmer. In your instance, it uses HTML::Selector::XPath to parse css selectors into an xpath, usable by HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath, which does the initial html parsing. If Web::Scraper doesn't do what you need directly due to limitations, use these and other classes to do what you need indirectly.
Your example above looks to have covered the core syntax / functionality achievable through Web::Scraper.
Chris
