If I may be so bold as to suggest that you check out one of my modules, HTML::TokeParser::Simple. I am looking at the following and I think you can make it clearer:

my $tag = @{$tagstruct}[0]; if ($tag =~ m!/!) { #print "endtag"; next; } my %attrhash= %{@{$tagstruct}[1]}; my @attrarr = @{@{$tagstruct}[2]};

With the "simple" version of TokeParser, the array structure remains exactly the same. This ensures that you can use the same interface, but gradually upgrade to something more legible:

if ($tagstruct->is_end_tag) { #print "endtag"; next; } my %attrhash= %{$tagstruct->return_attr}; my @attrarr = @{$tagstruct->return_attrseq};

I am a big fan of self-documenting code and with this module, you no longer have to try and memorize array indices.
