jdporter, Thanks a ton for your help ..... that did it. I had a question though ..... with regards to my question and your answer, I am using -

my $we = extract_html_text($browser->{res}->content);
my @note   = $we =~ m/Note:\s*([^<]+)/gi;
[download]

to first strip the HTML gook and then search the remainder for "Note". The thing is that "@note" prints out everything after Note: i.e. all the other coding in the remainder of the (formerly) HTML file, etc. Is there any way I can get it to search for Note:, collect all the information after it and stop when it reaches "Pre" or "Attrib" or "Link"? Would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
