Hi,

I am currently having this problem. I have a section of HTML that looks like the following....

Go to the BBC's website <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk">BBC</a> or you 
can visit the inland revenues pages at
<a href="http://www.inlandrevenue.com">Inland Revenue</a>  which will 
give you the information you need

[download]

From this code I need to extract out the data from the anchor tags so that the 'http://www.bbc.co.uk' part is in one variable, 'www.bbc.co.uk' (I understand that I can just strip the first part to get this) is in another and the 'BBC' part is also in a variable. I need to try this for each web link/anchor tag that I come across.

I have looked at the HTML toke parser module but I'm very new to Perl and it doesn't make much sense to me.

Thankyou
