Break it down. You're using (?:\/\w*?)+ to match /extport/home, and you know \w doesn't match that extra /. If i were you i'd start from scratch, and build the re from pieces, and use alternate delimiters and use the x option.

You should also think in more general terms. Think about parsing the html. What you're looking for is stuff in between > and <. 

# C:\dev\loose\html.treebuilder3.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $html = q~
<tr align=right><td>/export/home3</td><td>308218</td><td>307200</td><t
+d>308224</td><td>7.0 days</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>-</td
+></tr>
~;

my $t = HTML::TreeBuilder->new();
$t->parse($html);
$t->eof;

for my $row ( $t->find_by_tag_name('tr') ){
    print join ' | ', map {
                        ref $_
                        ? $_->as_text
                        : $_
                    } @{ $row->content() },$/;
}

warn $_ for $html =~ m{> ( [^>]+ ) </}gx;


__END__
