Thanks for all the responses. I still cant fetch the information. I know its coming down to the newline problem because I tried a test by putting it on one line:  <A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','113')">San Francisco (Manager)
and was able to fetch the different the number that was located where "113" was located: 
use LWP::Simple;
my $url = 'www.website.com';
my $content = get($url);
my ($number) = $content =~ /'(\d{3})'\)">San Francisco (Manager)/;

print "$number\n";

BUT I really need to fetch the information where it is split on two lines: 
 <A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','113')">
San Francisco (Manager)

I tried both these and still didnt get it to work: 
my ($number) = $content =~ /'(\d{3})'\)">\nSan Francisco (Manager)/;

[download]
and: 
my ($number) = $content =~ /'(\d{3})'\)">San Francisco (Manager)/s;
