Welcome to the Monastery!

HTML::TokeParser scares you? no problem, Ovid made HTML::TokeParser::Simple that will make your life easier :)

Here it is a little example:

use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
use strict;
use vars qw( $parser $attributes );

$parser = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new($ARGV[0]);

while ( my $token = $parser->get_token ) {
  next unless ($token->is_start_tag('a'));
  $attributes $token->return_attr;
  if(exists $attributes->{href}) {
    print $attributes->{href}, "\n";
  }
}

Ciao, Valerio

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • 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.
