If you want to use XML::Parser and it's ilk then you should just download a binary version of it and copy the the right files to the appropriate places. If however, you can't find a binary version of XML::Parser and you really are stuck up the proverbial creek then you might want to check out the extract_tagged method in Text::Balanced. From the docs:
# Extract the initial substring of $text that is bounded by
# a C<BEGIN>...C<END> pair. Don't allow nested C<BEGIN> tags
($extracted, $remainder) =
extract_tagged($text,"BEGIN","END",undef,{bad=>["BEGIN"]});

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).
