I'm guessing that you won't get much (serious) help on this -- you're asking us to spend significant time to debug a piece of code. You've come to the wrong site for that.

Here's what this site (and community) is about: you bring your boiled-down, condensed, pithy Perl question to us, and we give you lots of varied answers and different approaches. You learn something, and perhaps we do too.

I suggest you go away and do some work on your question, and come back when you've narrowed it down a bit. Just saying that ... my parsing, or the regular expression is wrong doesn't help us much

Oh, and if you are screen scraping Google, that may be against the TOS.
