I am trying to pull out the url value found in the REDIRECTURL element of this XML Here is what works so far. This seems to work but maybe there is a better way? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use warnings;
use strict;
 
my $data;
 
$data = <<XML;
<PHC_LOGIN>\r
  <VERSION>3.0</VERSION>\r
  <PARTNERID>8747</PARTNERID>\r
  <USERLOGIN>john.doe.</USERLOGIN>\r
  <ERROR_CODE>0</ERROR_CODE>\r
  <ERROR_DESCRIPTION>Login Successful</ERROR_DESCRIPTION>\r
  <SESSIONID>c12168e0-e34e-4c27-b4a6-be235ff7fa41</SESSIONID>\r
  <REDIRECTURL>https://example.com/_bers/log.asp?SID=c12168e0-e34e-4c2
+7-b4a6-be235ff7fa41</REDIRECTURL>\r
</PHC_LOGIN>
XML
 
if ($data =~ /(https:\/\/[^\s]+[$<])/ ) {
        print "Found: $1\n";
