I'd use HTML::TokeParser::Simple. It's much easier to use and has several code samples included in the POD.

 use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
 my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $somefile );

 while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
     next unless $token->is_start_tag( 'input' ) or $token->is_start_t
+ag( 'textarea' );
     my %attribute_hash = %{ $token->return_attr };
     
     # do your thing ...
 }

In the snippet above, %attribute_hash contains the attribute names and values. It's up to you to figure out what you want to do with them.
