note that a more bullet-proof way (with the added advantage of not
needing the whole document in core at once) is to use the HTML::Parser
module, a part of libwww-perl (LWP).

it's gotten a little more complex, since it was rewritten in C with XS
bindings.  for the older style, take a look at "perldoc HTML::Filter"
if you have it installed.

a similar idea (although i didn't know about HTML::Filter at the time,
so i created my own "pass it along" routines):
