Converting LWP's get $url results to text. Can't Post
 
I was able to do something like:

$content = parse_html( get $url)->format;

which converts the HTML to text. This works great, but when running in a loop, parse_html crashes my machine because it runs out of memory!

Anybody know how I can fix this, or is there a better way to convert HTML to text without using parse_html?

Thanks

you can also use "HTML::TokeParser::Simple"
