Converting LWP's get $url to text instead of HTML

[ajmcello]

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

Need to see more of what you have put together, so far. Nothing in that one line that looks suspect.

It seems to be a problem with LWP, or the way I'm using LWP. If I create a loop where I'm pulling a URL's content into an array, it will continually eat up more and more memory each and every time. I'll post the code in a bit...
