Re: Any pure-perl html to text? (Or: missing a perl equivalent to 'lynx -dump')

WWW::Mechanize has a method for that (it requires that HTML::TreeBuilder is installed as well) ..

  my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
  $mech->get('http://example.com');
  print $mech->content(format => 'text');
[download]

If you're not already using WWW::Mechanize for your scraping, i highly recommend it (note it uses LWP underneath)..
Update: added 'print' so that snippet has output
