Ok, I've replicated your example using HTML::TokeParser::Simple.
But I would sure hate to scrap the hours I just spent learning
HTML::Parser, and re-write with TokeParser. After all, TokeParser
was supposedly written to save people from having to learn
HTML::Parser!

Can anyone here identify the problem with HTML::Parser, or
perhaps my (mis)use of this module? If TokeParser is based on
HTML::Parser, then it seems odd that it does not encounter
the same problem (unless it works around it somehow.)

Thanks
