I would suggest you use the html source and use HTML::TokeParser to parse it out. The following might be a good place to start. (I saved the html source into the file "APMA.txt")

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTML::TokeParser;
use strict vars;

my $file = 'APMA.txt';
my $stream = HTML::TokeParser->new($file);
my $tok;

while( $tok = $stream->get_token) {
    if( $tok->[1] eq 'a' && $tok->[2]{'href'} =~ m/course_nbr/ ) {
        print "Class: " . $stream->get_text('/a') . " ";
    }
    if( $tok->[1] eq 'span' && exists($tok->[2]{'class'}) && $tok->[2]
+{'class'} eq "title") {
        print $stream->get_text('/span') . "\n";
    }
    if( $tok->[1] eq 'span' && exists($tok->[2]{'title'}) && !exists($
+tok->[2]{'class'}) ) {
        print "Title = $tok->[2]{'title'}: ";
        print $stream->get_text('/span'), "\n";
    }
}

exit;

Further parsing is easily done to get exactly what you want.
Take a look at Perl & LWP for more information.

Hope this helps,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
