If a Perl "expert" tells you that regexps are the way to parse HTML/XML, you can safely conclude they've never actually tried to do it.
For the original message it sounded like the Perl expert recommended regexps to scrape facts from Html. That's a quite different scenario from parsing and not unreasonable for regexps.
