Hi, thank you for the reply, but perhaps my question was malformed, I try to be more clear: With that script everything goes well except the return of the date inside the tag <date>...</date> I presume that the problem is in this subfunction I replicated from the subfunction that try to get the Title of the page: 
# this first bit is right out of the HTML::Parser perldoc
sub title_handler {
    return if shift ne "title";
    my $self = shift;
    $self->handler( text => sub { $j::title = shift }, "dtext" );
    $self->handler(
        end => sub { shift->eof if shift eq "title"; },
        "tagname,self"
    );
}

sub date_handler {
    return if shift ne "date";
    my $self = shift;
    $self->handler( text => sub { $j::date = shift }, "dtext" );
    $self->handler(
        end => sub { shift->eof if shift eq "date"; },
        "tagname,self"
    );
}

And then when I call it: 
sub insertFile {
    my $file = shift;

    my $p = HTML::Parser->new( api_version => 3 );
    $p->handler( start => \&title_handler, "tagname,self" );
    $p->handler( start => \&date_handler, "tagname,self" );
    $p->parse_file($file);
.................

If I delete the call to date, the Title subfunction goes well, but I lost the date, on the other side if I left everything as I modified, the date goes well but I lost the Title. I hope that now is more clear.....:)
