You can also use HTML::TokeParser::Simple. I'll leave the regex of the text up to you. :-) P.S. HTML::Strip may also be useful to you, see Stripping HTML tags efficiently
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
# Define user agent type
$ua->agent('MyApp/0.1 ');
# Request object
my $req = GET 'http://finance.yahoo.com/actives?e=us';
# Make the request
my $res = $ua->request($req);
my $con = $res->content;
#print "$con\n";
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( \$con );
while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
# This prints all text in an HTML doc (i.e., it strips the HTML)
next unless $token->is_text;
print $token->as_is, "\n";
}
exit 0;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
