Do you have a specification of the format of these files?

Be aware that using a regex is strongly frowned upon for parsing HTML and XML, as mentioned at:

• Why a regex *really* isn't good enough for HTML and XML, even for "simple" tasks by haukex
• Parsing HTML/XML with Regular Expressions by haukex
• regex match open tags except XHTML... (SO)

Though Marshall has already provided you with a regex solution, note that if you only want to match .htm (and not .htmfred say) his regex:

m/<FILENAME>(.*\.htm)/
[download]

should read:

m/<FILENAME>(.*\.htm)\b/
[download]

using the \b regex assertion to match only on a word boundary (see perlre for more detail).

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
