Greetings Anonymous Monk, Take a look at Template::Extract. It lets you scrape content from an HTML source without having to deal with regular experessions or parsing through tokens. (Not that I'm against HTML::TokeParser or anything. It's just that sometimes it's easier to use something else.) You copy and paste sections of HTML from which you want to extract data, put it into a tempalte file, call-out the data you want, and let the module do the work.
This is definately not going to be the fastest and probably not even the "best" way to parse your content. However, it's really, really easy. And I always say that the computer's time is cheaper than mine; make it do the work. gryphon
