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.
