I believe there are a couple of HTML parsers out there. In the Perl News email
sent out a couple of days ago there was one that caught my eye. I believe it
was an XS implementation so it should be very fast.

I'm not an XML expert but you might want to try the XML parser. It's also a
perl frontend for a c parser.
