I have a tough one here that is not working. I need to get the date and time of a web page update. Here is how it looks on the web page(Date and time changes everyday)

Page last updated:
Wednesday, May 08, 2002 14:53:02

Here is how it looks in my browser View/page source: 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write("<font face=arial size=1>Page last updated:
 " + "<br>" + document.lastMod<FONT face=arial size=1>
Page last updated: <BR>Wednesday, May 08, 2002 14:53:02

Now I have tried every reg expression combination: 
(/Page last updated: \<BR\>(.*)$/)
(/Page last updated: \<BR\>(.*)$/)
(/Page last updated: <BR>(.*)$/)

[download]


As an example:
$content = get($url);
print $content;

my ($dat) = $content =~  (/Page last updated: <BR>(.*$)/i);
print "$1\n";
print $dat;

[download]


Nothing prints. I can not fetch the date and time. If I print out the $content = get($url variable and get the whole web page HTML code the date and time DO NOT show up. Please advise if this date and time part are in a javascript then it is not accessible??
