Removing HTML from text

I am looking for a perl routine that will strip HTML from a text file and allow me to setup exceptions. For example, remove all HTML except <B> <I> <U> <P> and their close tags, and optionally (preferably) clean up any <P> tags so that contain just <P ALIGN="LEFT"> (or right or center). Is there such a beast out there before I write my own code?

That would tell me some piece of software isn't installed on the non-working computer, but I have no idea as to what it may be. I have made sure the files

RMAN recovery question

A cold backup was taken of a 10.2.0.3 database using rman. The database was shut down cleanly before the backup was started. When I tried to restore the backup a few days later, it would not let me open the database. It said that file 1 (system01.dbf) file needed further recovery. Why would a file need *any* recovery if it was a cold backup?
