Hmmmmm, I don't think this is going to work.

Here's the problem. Go to the Compendium of HTML Elements,
www.htmlcompendium.org --> Main Menu --> HTML --> Attribute Pages and click
on one of the tag names.
The right frame will open up into a list of the tag and all
attributes/arguments documented to work with that tag. I'm in the process
of completely restructuring the site and using a perl script. This is, in
part a learning exercise for me.
Here's the problem. One tag will have 166 attributes plus
additional arguments for each attribute. The next tag will potentially have
none. No two tags share all of the same attributes. I need to create a
series of scalars for each attribute such that each variable can be
directly addressed and decisions drawn from them and the new structure
constructed.
The process is to bring up a tag page, gradually work my way down
the page parsing all of the pertinent information and storing it in
variables. The attributes are then sorted and the new structure is then
constructed using these variables.
When this program is complete, it will provide the shell for the
next program which will do the same thing but will add new tags,
attributes, arguments, properties, values, methods and parameters.
Your help is much appreciated.
