Re: Grabbing part of an HTML page

To fix the problem change this line:
- while(@files_to_look_in)
+ foreach ( @files_to_look_in )

Edit:
Instead of writing if($_=~/$start_pattern/i) you can simply do if ( m/$start_pattern/i ) omitting $_.

Edit 2:
I think you also need to change this:
- open(HTM_FILE, <$_);
+ open( HTM_FILE, "< $_" );
