why yes there is... i wrote a little module for perl that does just that.
basicly, you pass the module a filehandle, it strips out all hte html
(leaving the links in the file intact however) and passes back a string
a sample script is also available. look at http://japh.nu/index.cgi
the site is still a bit under construction so if you're looking for the
tutorials, they're at http://japh.nu
