Hi to the fellow monks, my problem is that i am stripping all the HTML content from a website and saving it in the first element of an array. When i use the print command to see if it really works it works a bit weird. When i leave the print command in the loop and run the script i input a website and the stripped conent is printed. If i take the print command outside the loop it won't print anything.
#Create an instance of the webcrawler
 my $webcrawler = WWW::Mechanize->new();
  
 my $url_name = <STDIN>; # The user inputs the URL to be searched
 
 my $uri = URI->new($url_name); # Process the URL and make it a URI
 
 #Grab the contents of the URL given by the user
 $webcrawler->get($uri);
 
 #Use the HTML::TokeParser module to extract the contents from the web
+site 
 my @stripped_html;  
 my $x = 0;
 my $content = $webcrawler->content;
 my $parser = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content);
 while($parser->get_tag){
    $stripped_html[0] = $parser->get_trimmed_text(),"\n";
    print $stripped_html[0];
    } 
    exit;
