Parsing / Extracting the inside of an HTML Tag using Perl?

I've been searching a lot on this the past couple days but still haven't found a clear way to do this... I know its simpl开发者_开发技巧e to parse HTML with Perl to retrieve the text between tags, but I need to actually retrieve the text inside of a tag instead, such as this:

<input type="hidden" name="next_webapp_page" value=""/>

Here, I would want to extract the entire tag (or possibly the tag excluding the word "input"... I don't want to use Regex, I prefer to use a parser, any advice is appreciated.

Using HTML::TokeParser::Simple, look for input tags and print using the as_is method. Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings;

use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;

my $parser = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(
    string => '<input type="hidden" name="next_webapp_page" value=""/>'
);

while ( my $tag = $parser->get_tag('input') ) {
    print $tag->as_is, "\n";
    for my $attr ( qw( type name value ) ) {
        printf qq{%s="%s"\n}, $attr, $tag->get_attr($attr);
    }
}

Output:

<input type="hidden" name="next_webapp_page" value=""/>

type="hidden"
name="next_webapp_page"
value=""
