Re: Getting Web span from view source?

It seems to me from your curt description that you want to download a HTML page and look for text in it. If you want to emulate a browser, WWW::Mechanize could be a fit for your problem. Also, possibly Web::Scraper might be a solution. It's unclear to me whether you have searched CPAN or whether you actually know enough about HTTP and HTML to attack the problem with Perl.

...or, given the majority of previous postings from the OP, whether there's even sufficient familiarity with perl or ... to put it another way, one wonders if the OP is attempting to run before being able to walk ? A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

I believe anbutechie is a social experiment. Three people actually post questions, only one is a programmer, but all three are completely uninterested in the questions they ask. Their goal is to get solutions to the questions with the least effort/interest and zero follow through. People always attempt to help, but it never leads to a resolution. Maybe its a hope experiment?
