If you look at HTML::Parser, it has a couple of examples. In fact, the second one is very close to what you're wanting. Since HTML::TreeBuilder builds on top of HTML parser, you should be able to tweak it to do what you want when you parse it. Looking at the docs, it appears that the eg/hstrip example in the distribution can be coerced into doing what you're attempting to do.

Disclaimer: I've not done anything significant with HTML::Parser.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
