Extract content from a HTML or text file

[frozensnow]

hello everyone,

I need to extract content between two form tags.
I tried doing regular expression but its not effective as the HTML is
not formatted.
I saw many articles suggesting about the HTML:arser but could not
find it in the active perl repository.
I was not able to figure out how the HTML:arser works.
Can any one let me know if they know any solution for this problem or
how HTML:arser works?

Thank you in advance

Add http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm to your ppm repositories. It has
the module compiled for ActiveState users.

Another option is to install the Strawberry perl distribution. This
includes the MinGW compiler, so you can compile your own modules as
needed. Then you could run:
perl -MCPAN -e "install HTML:arser" from your command line.

I recommend to use HTML::TreeBuilder, see http://johnbokma.com/perl/
for several examples.
