in reply to Accessing source after downloading modules

To test whether these modules are installed, issue the following at the command line on the target system: 

perl -MHTML::Parser -MHTML::Tree -e ""

[download]

When this gives you no error messages, both modules are installed.

    Of course, if you are using ActiveState Perl, you could use ppm. Just try either: 

    C:\Perl\>ppm3 install HTML::Parser
C:\Perl\>ppm3 install HTML::Tree

    [download]
    or 
    ppm install HTML::Parser
ppm install HTML::Tree

    [download]

    But actually, if you're only worried about finding the tags so that they can be later removed, you could use WAVE

    WAVE is a pretty cool tool that you can pass a webpage, then it will graphically display what would cause accessibility issues. It actually even has a toolbar you can add to Internet Explorer(or probably any web browser), that you can use.

    Hope this Helps.

      Hi, Cheers for the tips. My project is based around using regexps to parse and remove HTML tags; WAVE looks cool, but can't use it! Having problems writing the mods I've made to the HTML code back to the source file on my hard drive. The 'writing to files on my hard drive' business has my legs in a twist! Rich
