I like anyone who likes that module ;)

I'd use next if $token->is_tag('a'); instead, but you really wanna combine your snippets, something like 


use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
use strict;

for(@ARGV){

    my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new($_);
    my $hrefCount = 0;

    print "STRIPPING A-HREF TAGS in '$_'. PLEASE WAIT..\n";

    open(TEMPO,">$_.tempo) or die "coudln't create $_.tempo($!)";

    while(defined( my $t = $p->get_token() )){

        if( $t->is_start_tag('a') ){

            my $attr = $t->return_attr;

            if(exists $attr->{href}) {

                $hrefCount++;

                print "\nHREF TAG-->[$hrefCount]-->",
                       $t->return_attr->{href},"\n\n";
            }

            next;

        } elsif( $t->is_end_tag('a') ) {

            next;

        } else {

            print TEMPO $t->as_is;
        }
    }

    close(TEMPO);

    rename "$_.tempo", $_ or warn "couldn't rename '$_.tempo' to '$_'"
+;
}
