Thanks for the replies. I do appreciate it. Here is what I have so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTTP::Lite;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $http = new HTTP::Lite;

my $req = $http->request("http://has.ncdc.noaa.gov/pls/plhas/has.dssel
+ect") or die "Unable to get document: $!";
die "Request failed ($req): ".$http->status_message() if $req ne "200"
+;
my $body = $http->body();

my $t = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($body) or die qq{cant buil
+d tree: $!\n};

my @anchors = $t->look_down(_tag => q{a});
for my $anchor (@anchors){
    if ($anchor->as_text eq q{NEXRAD Level III}){
        $anchor->replace_with_content;
    }
}

print $t->as_HTML(
    undef,
    q{  },
    {},
);

$t->delete;

This, of coarse is not much different from the above code. I just dont understand this HTML stuff, and cant seem to find any pages to really help. I want to Take out the text contained in href when the text is Level III and put it into a variable. Is href a node, namespace, or what?
