There are many ways of doing it (in order of eaze):
- Use merlyn's suggestion of an HTML module. (But then,
merlyn mirrors all of CPAN onto his system...)
- Pharsing the output of lynx -dump file....
I actually did this for a non-profit journal publisher for
an alert system. Verified opt-in, too.
- Treating the HTML as an XML file and programming state
engines. Boy, do I like programming state engines...
It seems like you're attacking it via the last method, which
can be hell in a handbasket. Try them in order, though.
First virtue of Perl.
