Re: HTML::TokeParser Frustration

get_trimmed_text (like get_text) returns text as documented, not markup. Try sticking with get_tag .

Changing to get_tag yields...

Found Data: ARRAY(0x81e326c)

[graff]

Instead of this:

print "Found Data: $text\n";

try this:

use Data::Dumper qw/Dumper/;

...
print Dumper( $text );

As explained in the manual for HTML::TokeParser, the "get_tag" function returns a reference to an array, and Dumper is just an easy way to see what the array elements contain.
