I think I screwed up. I believe I've come down with a small case of
"operator error."

Subject: HTML::TokeParser and tags split between lines
I'm using HTML::TokeParser to remove HTML. This functions
very well when tags are contained on one line.
What happens when you're reading a file line by line, and the
HTML tag is split between lines? The HTML I'm dealing with is
sometimes broken up. For instance, I'll get lines beginning
with "size=2>" which is the end of a tag that began on the
previous line.
Any suggestions or recommendation on cleaning up -- as in
removing -- this kind of "broken" HTML?
Unless the html is broken in some way, other than simply being wrapped
in the middle of a tag, I would be surprised if that would cause
HTML::Parser any problems. However, it sounds, from your description,
like you are giving the html to HTML::TokeParser line at a time. I hope
I misunderstand, as it seems like an odd thing to do, but it would
certainly explain why you are having problems. You need to give
HTML::TokeParser the whole document to parse, as described in the
documentation for 'new'.
