Greetings Anonymous Monk,

Take a look at Template::Extract. It lets you scrape content from an HTML source without having to deal with regular experessions or parsing through tokens. (Not that I'm against HTML::TokeParser or anything. It's just that sometimes it's easier to use something else.) You copy and paste sections of HTML from which you want to extract data, put it into a tempalte file, call-out the data you want, and let the module do the work.

use Template::Extract;
my $extract = Template::Extract->new();
my $template = '<!--BEGIN -->[% mydata %]<!--END -->';
my $content = '<!--BEGIN -->blah blah blooh blooh<!--END -->';
my $data = $extract->extract($template, $content);

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $data;

This is definately not going to be the fastest and probably not even the "best" way to parse your content. However, it's really, really easy. And I always say that the computer's time is cheaper than mine; make it do the work.
