Re: How would I find a piece of html from a sourcefile.html?

Comments make HTML extraction even more difficult than it usually is. However, if you're dealing with fairly standard HTML you could use

$page =~ /<!--\w+(.*)\w*-->;/;
$commented = $1;

This will grab the string inside the comment; add appropriate qualifiers to the regexp as necessary (or use another on $commented) if you only want to pick certain stuff out.
