Hi fellow Monks,
I am using HTML::Parser do parse html data and struggling to figure out how I would make sure that "some text" appears on the html page - i.e. I need to parse the html page and while parsing do a regex to make sure that "some text" is indeed present in the page. Here is a snippet of my code with the text subroutine.

$parser = HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3)
$parser->handler(start => \&start,'self,tagname,attr');
$parser->handler(text => \&text,'self,text');
@todo = ["", $starturl];
while(@todo)
{           
  my ($refer, $url) = @{shift @todo}
  next if (exists $done{$url});    
  $request = GET $url, [referer=>$refer];
  if ($response->is_success())
  {                           
        $done{$url} = 1;  
        $parser->{base}  ||= $response->base;
        $parser->{browser} ||= $browser;     
        $parser->parse($response->content);  
        $parser->eof();
  }
..
}
sub text
{
   my ($self, $text)= @_;
   print $text . "\n";
}

Now I am not sure if I can pass my $text_to_match variable to the subroutine text or do I return $text and where abouts in the code would I do it?
