in thread Extracting a substring from HTML

Thank you. I'll look at the HTML::Treebuilder now.

I know it was a basic queston but with so many ways of doing things in perl, the benefit of experience found on here is high.

I could spend days on clumsy solution.

    The benefit of experience is actually in CPAN. Always look there first before coding anything yourself. Get the Perl Cookbook (ISBN 0-596-00313-7) to get _productive_ right away with Perl, it's going to be your best spent $50 if you are going to work with Perl, and many cool ideas not only on the use of Perl but on many modules for specific stuff.

    Then get the what I call the trilogy: Learning Perl, Intermediate Perl, and Advanced Perl.

    And then, of course, the Camel Book. But that's just to say you have it and have read it.

    Please be careful. Package names are case-sensitive in Perl. That's HTML::TreeBuilder
