This works for me: 
use strict;
use warnings;

for(<DATA>){
print if s/.*a href="(.*)".*/$1/;
}
__DATA__
  <td scope="row">9</td>
            <td scope="row">SUBSIDIARIES OF THE REGISTRANT</td>
            <td scope="row"><a href="/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000
+92735601000365/0000927356-01-00­0365-0009.txt">0009.txt</a></td>
            <td scope="row">EX-21.1</td>

Output:

EDIT: It seems that $/ = "</html>"; manipulates the input record seperator in such a way it does completely break the functionality of the simple regex. Do yu have any links to documentation on this $/ = "</html>"; ?
