Can someone help me decode this? or if not, please recommend a good reference book or site for my specific needs! thanks
i wrote this script for use of active perl installed on win98 and used two modules #!C:\Perl\bin -w use HTML::Parse; use HTML::FormatText; # My question is here, insofar as I have little to #zero experience working with modules in general, I am #a newcomer, please forgive :) as I need help with #basic syntax $plain_text = HTML::FormatText->new->format(parse_html($html_text)); print "$plain_text\n"; #FormatText -> new #does this mean a new object is being created from the #HTML::formatText module which is necessary to call #the format method? Also, is the format method #accepting the results of the parse_html method? which #parses whatever is stored in $html_text? therefore wouldn't I have to modify my script to have $html_text be defined? say slurp all of my input into the $html_text variable for processing? thanks kindly, and please don't be too vicious on me :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
