Yes, I did..but I wondered if I was choosing appropriately using HTML::Parser, as (for instance) the description element was apparently not retrievable via it's methods. In that case, It seemed I might as well write it all from scratch (and I didn't want to do that). I used to be fairly good with PERL, but I haven't really used it in about five years (change of occupations, lifestyle, etc). Thus, I was trolling the waters looking to see if anyone had some good suggestions besides what I'd recently found.	[reply]
