Fellow monks,

I've googled around for this but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.

Consider the following snippet: 

my $source = get('http://www.drudgereport.com'); 
open FH, '>', 'temp.html' || die "Can't open source file\n"; # write t
+emp source file to parse
print FH $source;
close FH;

my $stream = HTML::TokeParser->new('temp.html')
  || die "Couldn't read HTML file $source";

Is there a way that I can eliminate writing the captured data from $source and just pass it directly to the HTML::TokeParser object?

To me it seems like an unnecessary step to be performing, but like I said I tried to google and apparently wasn't hitting the right keywords.

Thanks in advance!

Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
