in reply to HTML Parsing (ick)

In addition to parsing the HTML, it looks like you'll need some regular expressions to pull the text elements out of there too. What is your level of experience with those? For beginners, there's a bunch of tutorials, for example perlrequick, perlretut, and here on PerlMonks. If you already have some experience with them, could you show your current code and describe what it's supposed to be doing vs. actually doing? (How do I post a question effectively?)
