This uses HTML::TokeParser::Simple (there are many other parsers) and may help get you started. It preserves your <BRK> 'tags', is that what you were after?
#! /usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use HTML::Entities; use HTML::TokeParser::Simple; my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( q{monk.html}, ) or die qq{cant parse HTML}; open my $fh_out, q{>:utf8}, q{out.txt} or die qq{cant open file to write}; while (my $t = $p->get_token){ if ($t->is_end_tag(q{p}) or $t->is_tag(q{br})){ print $fh_out qq{\n}; } elsif ($t->is_text){ my $out = $t->as_is; for ($out){ s/^\s+//; s/\s+$//; } next unless $out; print $fh_out decode_entities($out); } }
output (long lines snipped)

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
