Actually, you want:
$remainder =~ s/<a\s[^>]*>//i;
(makes sure you only get a, not abbr, acronym, etc.)

Update: now that I think about it, why not just: $remainder =~ s/<a\s.*?>//i; ?

Update the second: d'oh... good catch, sauoq. How about $remainder =~ s/<a(>|\s.*?>)//i; ? Or is there a better way to do it?

    Actually, you want: . . .

    Actually, that's not what I want. Yours misses an anchor tag without attributes. As far as I know <A></A> is legal even if it isn't particularly useful. If you can show me that it isn't, I'll add the \s next time.

    I will concede that I need a \b though. :-)
