Grabbing web forms with Perl
Hello Everyone,
I've googled everywhere for this with no luck and my brain hurts.
I'm trying to write a program to take my webpages and search for forms.
I've used LWP::Simple to store a website in $content
I need to cut the form out of $content. I don't know how to do this seeing as how the form extends across multiple lines. Can anyone help me?
Beggining of form = <form
End of form = </form>
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

lwp-dump5.16
LWP-DUMP(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation LWP-DUMP(1)
NAME
lwp-dump - See what headers and content is returned for a URL
SYNOPSIS
lwp-dump [ options ] URL
DESCRIPTION
The lwp-dump program will get the resource indentified by the URL and then dump the response object to STDOUT. This will display the
headers returned and the initial part of the content, escaped so that it's safe to display even binary content. The escapes syntax used is
the same as for Perl's double quoted strings. If there is no content the string "(no content)" is shown in its place.
The following options are recognized:
--agent str
Override the user agent string passed to the server.
--keep-client-headers
LWP internally generate various "Client-*" headers that are stripped by lwp-dump in order to show the headers exactly as the server
provided them. This option will suppress this.
--max-length n
How much of the content to show. The default is 512. Set this to 0 for unlimited.
If the content is longer then the string is chopped at the limit and the string "...
(### more bytes not shown)" appended.
--method str
Use the given method for the request instead of the default "GET".
--parse-head
By default lwp-dump will not try to initialize headers by looking at the head section of HTML documents. This option enables this.
This corresponds to "parse_head" in LWP::UserAgent.
--request
Also dump the request sent.
