This prints out the title, anchor hrefs and link text.

As was pointed out in the CB you can only have one start handler at a time.

Hopefully this is enough to get you started.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::Parser;

my $p = HTML::Parser->new(
  api_version => 3,
  start_h => [\&title_start, "self, tagname"],
);

$p->unbroken_text(1);
$p->parse_file('home.html');

sub title_start {
  my ($p, $tag) = @_;
  return unless $tag eq 'title';
  $p->handler('text' => \&title_text, "self, text")
}

sub title_text {
  my ($p, $txt) = @_;
  print "title: $txt\n";
  $p->handler('start' => \&link_start, "self, tag, attr");
  $p->handler('text' => '');
}

sub link_start {
  my ($p, $tag, $attr) = @_;
  return unless $tag eq 'a';
  print "link: $attr->{href}\n";
  $p->handler('text' => \&link_text, "self, text")

}

sub link_text {
  my ($p, $text) = @_;
  print "link text: $text\n";
  # switch off text handler
  $p->handler('text' => "");
}

Update:
And I still maintain you'll have a hard time finding mailto tags. ;-)
