How do I stop the parser when I reach "pears".
You are presumably using HTML::TokeParser, and not Toke::Parse, Toke::Parse or
toke paser.

This should do what you want.

while (my $tag = $stream->get_tag('div')) {
next unless my $id = $tag->[1]{id};
last if $id eq 'mainbody';
}

while (my $tag = $stream->get_tag('a')) {
next unless $stream->get_trimmed_text eq 'pears';
print $tag->[1]{href}, "\n";
last;
}

I wouldn't interpret "when I reach 'pears'" that literally. Alternative
solution:

while ( my $tag = $stream->get_tag ) {
if ( $tag->[0] eq 'a' ) {
print Dumper $tag;
}
last if $tag->[0] eq '/ul';
}

I assumed the OP wanted to find the first the first anchor containing 'pears'
after the first division with an id of 'mainbody'. How do you read it?

(Once again you've over-edited the previous post and no one can see what we're
taking about.)
