HTML::Parser is pretty far down on the list of things you should recommend, especially to a newish Perl hacker. The OP was already trying HTML::TokeParser::Simple which has a better, higher level, interface, and does the same things. I’m also going to critique answers that come without code and use language like “raw HTML” and “real-world” and “arbitrary size.” At the very best, it’s unhelpful. At face level, it’s detrimental to wisdom seekers.
