The Internet is full of lexical analyzers, as this was one of the
favorable hobbies before the arrival of html and windows widgets:
you are re-inventing the wheel. How about lex(1), flex(1), or even
a full parser like RecDescent (if you don't mind the slow speed.)
Lots of analyzers out there. Many parsers can also act as lexers,
and some (rich) lexers like flex(1) can almost act like parsers.
There is also a perl binding to flex(1) through my cpan
module Parse::Flex.

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).
