That's a wonderful column, merlyn. IIRC it was the first one by you that I've read (possibly the first about perl I've read ever).

Although it seems to provide me with a good solution, I think I will go with redhotpenguin's, as it will probably be more robust than HTML::Parser, and I already know for certain that it does exactly what I need.

Update: Appearantly my memory is pulling tricks on me, that was not so long ago. Nevertheless, it and this one I remember as mind opening, in terms of using one tool to get another's job done.
