Re: Handling lines and saving them into variables

in reply to Handling lines and saving them into variables

If your HTML is not terribly complex, you could use something like YAML

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use YAML;

# Load a YAML stream of 3 YAML documents into Perl data structures.
my $data = do {local $/ = <DATA> };
my @yaml = Load( $data );

for my $hash (@yaml) {
    my $question = $hash->{question};
    my $answer   = $hash->{answer};
    print "q: $question\na: $answer\n";
}
