I have an HTML table I'm parsing. Once of the columns in the table is populated with fields that look like this:

     1. Network-Time, Protocol: TCP, Source Port: 0-65535, Destination
+ Port: 13-13
2. Network-Time-1, Protocol: UDP, Source Port: 0-65535, Destination Po
+rt: 13-13
3. Network-Time-2, Protocol: TCP, Source Port: 0-65535, Destination Po
+rt: 37-37
4. Network-Time-3, Protocol: UDP, Source Port: 0-65535, Destination Po
+rt: 37-37
5. Network-Time-4, Protocol: UDP, Source Port: 0-65535, Destination Po
+rt: 123-123

I'm wanting to parse this into an array that contains elements that look like this:

@array=(TCP:13-13,UDP:13-13,TCP:37-37,UDP:37-37,UDP:123-123)

What would be an elegant way to do this? Here's what I've got so far, but it's not working.

@svcDesc = ($htmlStream->get_trimmed_text('/td') =~ /Protocol:\s((TCP|UDP)[^\n]+Destination\sPort:\s([0-9\-]+))/g);

Thank you!
