Have you considered an approach like this (this strategy is described in the HTML::TokeParser::Simple man page):
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple; my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( $ARGV[0]); my $state = ''; my %content; while ( my $tkn = $p->get_token ) { if ( $tkn->is_start_tag( 'title' )) { $state = "inTitle"; } elsif ( $tkn->is_start_tag( 'h1' )) { $state = "inH1"; } elsif ( $tkn->is_end_tag( 'title' ) or $tkn->is_end_tag( 'h1' )) { $state = ''; } elsif ( $tkn->is_text( ) and $state ) { $content{$state} .= $tkn->as_is; } } print "Title: $content{inTitle}\n"; print "H1: $content{inH1}\n";
Depending on what your input data looks like (and how many elements besides "title" and "h1" you want to handle), this might not do exactly what you want, but I hope it will put you on the right path.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
