I created a problem for myself and now hoping someone can help me fix it. I believe I used HTML::Parser to identify URLs that I wanted to strip out of some HTML for a website, but it went terribly wrong and left me with these broken links. I'm thinking I now need a regexp of some kind to clean this up, but I have no idea how to do it. While the string below is similar to what I need to do, there may be some variations that include other forms of "widget=460", such as "widget=410" that would make an exact match more difficult. 
<p><a href=";widget=460" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Adve
+rtiser" class="banner" height="60" src="/images/articles/newsletters/
+Paper-v4-468x60.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin
+-right: auto;" width="468" /></a></p>

Ideas for how to approach this would be very much appreciated. I don't currently have any working code.
