If there were any hair left on my 20 year old head, I'd still be pulling them out...good thing for me I pulled the last hairs out last night over this!

I'm parsing a page that looks:

It took a day but finally I was able to line break where I needed to (after each set of ( .. ). But as you can see, there are things before and after the nice line breaks (the "Chat at Allpoetry.com 400 MB hosting with 5 GB traffic for $4.95 per month" lines and "< Previous Chatter | Next ". I tried using: 
for my $lines (@lines ) {
if ($lines =~ s/\)/\)<br>/g) { 
push @good,$lines;
}
}
@lines = @good;
print "@good";

Hoping to remove ANYTHING my line breaks didn't alter or find, but that didn't work and everything still prints out (all the junk ads). The $lines =~.. is what I need and use to line break, does anyone know a method to get rid of everything else?
