What are all of the different link extractors?

I was using the extract_links method of whatever parse_html returns.  Slow
but works fine.

Seeing the new LinkExtor, I thought I'd give it a try, and it works.  But
whatever it returns, it doesn't seem to be the same as what parse_html
returned, as I can't hand it off to a formatter (FormatText) to get a 
plain-text version.  I thought LinkExtor was subclass of the HTML::Parser
so I thought it would work, but it didn't.

I have to confess my knowledge of perl 5 is based solely on my shaky perl
4 "llama book" experiences extended only by my background with C++ and 
Smalltalk. 

If there is a class broswer built into Perl 5 someplace, somebody please
tell me how to start it.  I can't tell who is inherited from whom even
with the man pages! 

And yes Randal, I know this isn't the perl-5--object-tutorial list. :)
