Problem: I can't get only real words pulled back using TokeParser. I'm trying to get trimmed text so it won't display things like (td, tr, marginheight, spacer, wrap, ...) and just words outside of codes. Is there a mistake in my code or am I just not going about it the right way? (or is it even possible?).

You can test this current script (using yahoo.com) at http://sulfericacid.perlmonk.org/count5.pl . 

#!/usr/bin/perl

open (STDERR, ">>/home/sulfericacid/public_html/test/error.log")
   or die "Cannot open error log, weird...an error opening an error lo
+g: $!";

use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use LWP::Simple qw(!head);
use HTML::TokeParser;
use diagnostics;

# url or file to scan
my $url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
my $file = "test.txt";
my $count = "0";

my $content = get($url);
getstore($url, $file);

my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new(shift||"$file");

  while (my $token = $p->get_tag("title")) {
      my $title = $p->get_trimmed_text("/title");
  }
$p = HTML::TokeParser->new(shift||"$file");
  while (my $token = $p->get_tag("td")) {
      my $text = $p->get_trimmed_text("/td");
  }

my (@words, %search, $first, $second, $line);
my @ignore = qw(a and the this i me us our ok abc def my of in this th

open (FILE, $file) or die "Error $!";
@words = <FILE>;
chomp(@words);
close FILE;

my @search= @words;

foreach my $line (@words) {
$line = lc $line;

    foreach my $ignore (@ignore) {
      $line =~ s/\b$ignore\b//g;
    }

    while ($line =~ /([[:alpha:]]+(?:'[[:alpha:]]+)?)/g) {
        if (exists ($search{$1})) {    
            $search{$1}++;    
        } else {
            $search{$1}="";
            $search{$1}++;
        }
    }
}

print header, start_html;
print "<table>";
print "<tr><td>$_ </td><td> $search{$_}</td></tr>\n"
   for sort {$search{$b} <=> $search{$a}} keys %search;
print "</table>";
