Monks don't let Seekers parse HTML with regexes (but i'll bet if you search, you'll find some regexes to do just that). However, if your href attributes are going to be schemed (http://, ftp://, etc.) then use URI::Find instead:
use strict; use warnings; use URI::Find; my @found; # this is just for this example, your $page will have the HTML # this line slurps the DATA filehandle below into a scalar my $page = do {local $/;<DATA>}; my $finder = URI::Find->new( sub { push @found,shift } ); $finder->find(\$page); print $_,$/ for @found; __DATA__ <a href="http://foo.com/bar/qux.html">stuff</a> <a href="http://bar.com/baz.cgi?foo=bar&stuff=more%20stuff">click</a> <a href="mailto:spam@me.com">don't feed the trolls</a>

UPDATE: i was originally using URI::Find::Schemeless - switched to URI::Find.
