so far I have this:

   HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3,
                        handlers    => [start => [\&tag, "self,tagname
+,attr"],
                                        end   => [\&tag_end, "self,tag
+name,attr"],
                                        text  => [\&text, "'$WEIGHT',d
+text"]
                                       ],
                        marked_sections => 1,
                    )->parse($DATA) || die "Huh $!\n";

then my three subs:
sub tag
{
  my $self = shift;
  my $tagname = shift;
  my $attr = shift;
  my $stuff;
  if($tagname eq "meta")
  {
        if($attr{'name'} eq ("keywords" || "description")) { $stuff = 
+$attr{'content'}; &text($WEIGHT, $stuff);  }
  }
  elsif($tagname eq "title")
  {
        $WEIGHT = "2";
  }
}


sub tag_end
{
  my $self = shift;
  my $tagname = shift;
  my $attr = shift;
  if($tagname eq "title")
  {
        $WEIGHT = "1";
  }
}

&text($weight,$text) just breaks up each word passed($text) to it and throws it into the database, incrementing the count by the $weight. that function is working.. (for the most part)
any ideas?
