Dear Monks,
I use the following code to get text from the given url (actually html) 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $the_file;

use LWP::Simple;
#$the_file = get("http://www.perlmonks.org");
#  or
$the_file = get("http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=hotel&fr=yfp-t-103&t
+oggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8");

use HTML::Parser;
my $parser = HTML::Parser->new( text_h => [ \&text_handler,"self,dtext
+" ], start_document_h => [\&init, "self"] );

$parser->parse($the_file);

print @{$parser->{_private}->{text}};

sub init
{
   my ( $self ) = @_;
   $self->{_private}->{text} = [];
}

sub text_handler
{
    my ( $self, $text) = @_;

    push @{$self->{_private}->{text}}, $text;
}

It works pretty good but returns JavaScript code at the end. How can I get rid of it?

In reply to HTML::Parser, get rid of JavaScript by vit
