Hey,

I adjusted my code correctly to extract the urls from the reauters headlines.

However, when printing out the urls it looks like:

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=1GRGO0RUSCREMCRBAE
+0CFFA?type=businessNews&storyID=4512094告on=news 
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=1GRGO0RUSCREMCRBAE
+0CFFA?type=businessNews&storyID=4512054告on=news 
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=1GRGO0RUSCREMCRBAE
+0CFFA?type=businessNews&storyID=4512041告on=news

If you copy and paste one of those url's, it will bring you to a blank reuters template, part being because at the end part of the url where it has "告on=news", should really be "'&'section=news".

Somehow its translating the "'&'section=news" into "告on=news".

Could it be because I'm using MIME-Base32 and not MIME-Base64 module? --I'm on a Windows machine.

Adjusted code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use LWP::Simple;
use URI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

my $filename = 'temp.html';

open FH, ">$filename";
print FH get("http://www.reuters.com/newsEarlierArticles.jhtml?type=bu
+sinessNews");
close FH;

my $stream = HTML::TokeParser->new($filename)
  || die "Couldn't read HTML file $filename: $!";

while(my $token = $stream->get_token) {

    if ($token->[0] eq 'S' and $token->[1] eq 'td' and
       ($token->[2]{'class'} || '') eq 'earlyHeadline') {

my(@next) = ($stream->get_token);

if ($next[0] and $next[0][0] eq 'S' and $next[0][1] eq 'a' and defined
+ $next[0][2]{'href'} )  {
    #early headline found for business section/grab a href portion
            print URI->new_abs($next[0][2]{'href'}, 'http://www.reuter
+s.com/'), "\n";
        }

    }

  }
