I would like to simulate the effect of VI's :set number function on an already generated HTML file -- So every line in the HTML file would have a line number at the beginning. The HTML files are almost all text with a few links and a couple of tables. I have tried to use HTML::Parse to take off all tags (code used from a search I have done on this site) and then place numbers at the beginning of the text file, but that doesn't seem to work very well for these HTML files. 
use HTML::Parser;
use LWP::Simple;
my $html = get "http://192.168.0.3/testing.htm";

HTML::Parser->new(text_h => [\my @accum, "text"])->parse($html);

$file = "test.txt";
open(FILE,">>$file") or warn "File $file not found!\n";

print FILE map $_->[0], @accum;

I don't even know if using HTML::Parse is the best way to accomplish this. Does anyone have any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Jason
