looks like I'm on the right path, they don't have a way to manipulate plain text in an HTML file -- while still preserving the HTML structure...
I don't know what you've been doing, but you most certainly can.
There is an example at
(crazyinsomniac) Re: Is this the best way to use HTML::TreeBuilder to bold text in an HTML document?.
Also, a regex is not completely out of the question, something like *code goes here, working on it*
use strict;
use warnings;
my $name = 'PodMaster';
my $url = 'http://perlmonks.org/?node=PodMaster';
my $html = q~
<html>
<title> PodMaster </title>
<style>
PodMaster { }
</style>
<body>
<h1>PodMaster
</h1>
Hi there PodMaster blah blah blah <b>Pod</b><i>Master</i>
</body>
</html>
~;
print $/, untag_MOD( $html, $name, $url ), $/;
#http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=161281 modified for our purposes
sub untag_MOD {
local $_ = $_[0] || $_;
# ALGORITHM:
# find < ,
# comment <!-- ... -->,
# or comment <? ... ?> ,
# or one of the start tags which require correspond
# end tag plus all to end tag
# or if \s or ="

# else [^>]

# 1 is the entire "tag", add +1 to all numbers in comments
s{
( # podmaster

my $ret = $1;

Note the caveats in
strip HTML tags.
Another potential (i wouldn't consider it one) caveat is that both of these don't translate
<b>Pod</b><i>Master</i> into a link.
If you want to do that you should use
HTML::TreeBuilder.
