I havenot yet written anything related to my final task but i have started here, in my output text i get the data as parent node, when i click on the site view source i see total different entries for all meta name content.  open(Mytempoutput, ">tempoutput.txt");  print Mytemp  output (get $url); Is there any other way to just read html page into a text file and then print characters starting a pattern??

How is the code you posted related to the problem you described in the top post? What parts of HTML does your incomplete code not download?

As i have told i have no clue to how to solve my problem i need help in getting started at the solution for the problem i have mentioned.

i have tried writing a code that somehow does not make any sense to me either.I have a medical journal site, which has many published articles. I need to go down to each page and get details like Author, time published and abstract. For all that to start i need to get that html content to a text file, i have used LWP::simple get method to get the content,which somehow does not get the exact data from site. Is ther any other method to read an html into a txt file?
