This problem looks tailor-made for my HTML::TokeParser::Simple module, when combined with HTML::Tagset. The following test will demonstrate:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
use HTML::Tagset;
my $html = <<'END_HTML';
<a href="mylink">text1</a>
<this is normal text>
END_HTML
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( \$html );
while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
next if ! $token->is_text
and
exists $HTML::Tagset::isKnown{ $token->return_tag };
print $token->return_text;
}
Result:
text1
<this is normal text>
Cheers,
Ovid

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
