Hi Monks

I've jus been initiated into the monkhood !
For the past couple of days, I've been learning PERL n LWP.
I've been working on a simple LWP problem wherein I'll have to get the URLs from a given HTML page !

I've found a solution wherein I traverse the whole downloaded HTML page, character by character,
searching for certain pattern. Is there any other way to get the URLs in a simple way,
instead of searching for the pattern character by character? 

while(1)
{

    # pick up start position

$position= index($content,'something.htm?',$temp_position);
 print"\n\n";
    $temp_position=$position;

    # pick up till quote position

    while($arr[$temp_position] ne  '"' )
    {
                 $page .= $arr[$temp_position];
                 $temp_position++;
    }
    print "\n\n";
    
                         # Printing URL 
        print "Page: $page";

        # Writing URL to a file
                      print TXT "$page\n";
                       
        #RE-Initialization
        $page=$home;

        print" \n\nPosition: $position \n";
        print"Temp_position: $temp_position \n";

        if($reverse == $position)
       {
         last
       }

}
