How are you applying this? There may be a module to help you.

Also, this is sort of an RTFM... see grep, perlre, and perlretut.

Update: I just noticed that you want to search a site. What site? You'll have to use LWP to get the pages you want to search, then use HTML::TokeParser to pull out relevant text and process it.
