in thread Looking for a module that strips an HTML tag and its associated 'TEXT'

there's nothing unappealing about Perl programs that call external programs unless those programs are also Perl

... or can be trivially reimplemented in Perl. See Hippo's Law of Perl.

    I am a fan of Unix Power Tools in Perl and a self proclaimed Perl purist. That said, I also appreciate good tools that can be trivially coupled with perl the unix way or trivially used in Perl in a variety of ways. I'm not getting baited into an argument that pits me against pure Perl implementations or the utility of knowing how big boys can use Perl to command and control their entire systems.
