I apologize for my ignorance.

When I try to run the first "self-contained example" as written in the provided link, it produces no output (except for "Press any key to continue...").

When I replace the body of the script (starting with "my $re ="...) with the next code example (that uses "HTML::TokeParser::Simple;"), I get the error message "Can't locate HTML::TokeParser::Simple.pm in @INC"

Could you please give me a code example that truly is self-contained, that reads (and parses) an HTML file and outputs it as a text file?

Thank you.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
