But in there, you know the base:

my $base = 'http://perlmonks.org/';

I will have no idea what they are, could be any news affiliate website in the world.

I just want to remove the other stuff and leave what is in the html link:

Link: <a href="http://example.com">and Anchor</a>
[download]

If that above were the string, it would remove Link: and leave the rest.

my $string = q~Link: <a href="http://example.com">and Anchor</a>~;
$string =~ s/<[a href.... # I cannot remember this string. There was o
+ne that worked perfect, even if the link had target="_blank" it did n
+ot matter what else it had... but I cannot find it in any of my files
+ or remember who to write it.

Also, I've at this point already downloaded the one page they are all on, and I've parsed it down to just one table cell, that has other data in it and I've gotten out of that table cell the information I need, all that is left is the remnants including the html link with anchor... so I want to just use that string to remove everything left, except the link and anchor.
