Hi All,
   I'm no expert at regexps. I've done the following code to get some SEO details from the page of HTML. The only problem is it isn't fast. In fact it's plain slow. Can any genius out there give me a hand? The script will potentially be called quite a lot, I don't want it chewing up all my servers CPU. 
while ($html =~ /\b$WHATWANT{'term'}'?s?\b/gis) { $termstotal++; } ## 
+End while

while ($html =~ /<body>.*?\b$WHATWANT{'term'}'?s?\b.*?<\/body>/gis) { 
+$termsbody++; } ## End while

while ($html =~ /<title>.*?\b$WHATWANT{'term'}'?s?\b.*?<\/title>/gis) 
+{ $termstitle++; } ## End while

while ($html =~ /<h1.*?>.*?\b$WHATWANT{'term'}'?s?\b.*?<\/h1>/gis) { $
+termshead1++; } ## End while
while ($html =~ /<h2.*?>.*?\b$WHATWANT{'term'}'?s?\b.*?<\/h2>/gis) { $
