Hi Pat WWW::Mechanize is intended to emulate a web browser's functionality. If you need lower level access then you should look at LWP, but remember that there is no concept of a 'line' in HTML. You would need to parse the page as it arrives and search for something like <p> or <br> elements in the content. Perhaps if you explained your application properly we could help better?
