Howdy Monks,

I am working on a parser to grab all the unsubcribe links from a big text file. The text file is a mix of plain text and HTML. I am able to use HTML:LinkExtor to grab most of the links, however, at this point it returns 'a href's and img src's' I'm only interested in the 'a href's' and once I have these, I would like to narrow them down with a regex.

As of now it looks like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl


use HTML::LinkExtor;
use URI::URL;



$p = HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&cb, "http://www.x10.com");
 sub cb {
     my($tag, %links) = @_;
     print "$tag @{[%links]}\n";
 }
 $p->parse_file("rfl.txt");
 
 #@glob = $p;
 
 #for($i=0; $i<@glob; $i++){
 #    $_ = @glob[$i];
 #    if(/account.cgi/){
 #    $counter = 1 - $counter;
 #        print $_ ;
 #    }
#}

I plan to uncomment the regex portion when I get better results.

I know there are a lot of errors, and I appreciate any guidance. Incidently, I can't use strict, because I get these errors when I do. 

Global symbol "$p" requires explicit package name at link.pl line 9.
Global symbol "$p" requires explicit package name at link.pl line 14.
Execution of link.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

So my main objectives are to remove any 'img src' references, and make sure that all the URL's are stored properly in an array which I can parse further.

Here is the top portion of my current results. I also noticed that some of the URL's are not returned or incomplete.
