Liverpole, I tried this 
 my $tag = 'div class=\\042mytitle maximumtitle\\042 id=\\042idtitle04
+2';

   my $match = $tree->find($tag);
   if ($match) {
       # Found it!
       print "Found tag '$tag' ...\n";
       print "   As text:  ", $match->as_text, "\n";
       print "   As text:  ", $match->as_HTML, "\n";
   }
   else {
     print "Unable to find tag '$tag'\n";
   }

I like how all of this is suppose to work! I think I read in one of the docs that there is a list of tags in the PM. Maybe I can add this tag to the list of html tags in the PM ? I was hoping that it would think that anything between < > are tags but I guess it does not do that. Thanks, Kevin
