As I understand , you only want unique chains , you can do this with minimum effort:

  1 #!/usr/local/bin/perl
  2 use strict;
  3 use warnings;
  4 use LWP::Simple;
  5 use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
  6 use Data::Dumper;
  7 use feature 'say';
  8 my $url="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/cgi-bin/pdbsu
+m/GetPage.pl?pdbcode=1r9t&template=main.html";
  9
 10 my $p = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new_from_content(get($url));
 11
 12 my @chain_tags = $p->findnodes("//td//a[contains(\@href,'chain=')]
+");
 13 my $uniq_chains = { map { $_->attr('href') =~ /chain=(\w)/; ($1,1)
+; } @chain_tags };
 14 say " Number of chains : " . scalar keys %$uniq_chains;
 15 say keys %$uniq_chains;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
