Extracting the link text

[Fritz Bayer]

Hi,

I would like to extract all the links from a html page, which I store
in a string variable.

For each link, I would also like to print out the link text, however,
omitting ALL possible tags in which the text could be embedded.

I'm looking for a regular expression, which does just that. Can
somebody help me out?

Use one of the modules for parsing HTML.

No, you aren't, because there ain't no such thing.

"The ugly one, sir."
"...Could you be more specific?"

HTML::LinkExtor sounds promising.

perldoc -q "remove html"

Better yet:

perldoc -q "extract URLs"
