Ofcourse there are always HTML::LinkExtor and HTML::SimpleLinkExtor... 
use HTML::SimpleLinkExtor;

my $extor = HTML::SimpleLinkExtor->new();

$extor->parse_file($filename);
# ---- or -----
$extor->parse($html);
#extract all of the links
@all_links   = $extor->links;

or 
require HTML::LinkExtor;
 $p = HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&cb, "http://www.perl.org/");
 sub cb {

     print "$tag @{[%links]}\n";
 }

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
