CPAN is your friend:

EXAMPLES ^

This example extracts all links from a document. It will print one line for each link, containing the URL and the textual description between the <A>...</A> tags:

use HTML::TokeParser;
$p = HTML::TokeParser->new(shift||"index.html");

while (my $token = $p->get_tag("a")) {
my $url = $token->[1]{href} || "-";
my $text = $p->get_trimmed_text("/a");
print "$url\t$text\n";
}
