You mean like the advice you've been given in previous threads? Wikipedia content to text converter Splitting compound (concatenated) words ) Distinguish between HTML and Plain text WWW::Mechanize reading HTML crawling one website And so on. Consider actually applying the solutions you've been given to the problem at hand. If you don't want to do this I suggest you pay someone to do it for you, but that wouldn't be a matter for this site. Super Search is your friend.	[reply]

I believe the answer to "how do I obtain Wikipedia content" in some "meaningful" way can be answered by the MediaWiki (the software that is running at Wikipedia) API page. Make sure to check out the Useful Links section, which has as its first entry a API Sandbox. Update: I found an additional link from the IBM Developerworks Site that describes how to Hook into Wikipedia information using PHP and the MediaWiki API. It's not Perl, but then neither is your question, really.	[reply]
