Yes... I could do that, and HAVE actually done that before for other routines due to the "fire-fighting" time constraints of the moment :-) This time I was hoping to increase my *very-limited* knowledge of Perl for a more elegant solution, because I'm sure I'll need to do something similar again...
Gunnar's response actually worked quite well... (Thanks Gunnar!)
sub striphtml { local $_ = shift; do 'striphtml.pl'; $_ }
$page = striphtml($page);
Yes, but that is less efficient as you have to read and compile a separate file at runtime.
