I was going to propose, as one more alternative, Regexp::Common, but when I did quick test of it, I discovered that it gives somewhat wrong undesired results with some URLs (note the trailing non-URL characters parentheses, commas, semicolons, etc. in some of returned URLs):
...while URI::Find::Rule% wget -qO - http://www.ebay.com | perl -MRegexp::Common=URI -wnle 'print $1 while /($RE{URI}{HTTP})/g'|h +ead http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/homepage.js http://include.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/us/css/homepage.css http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/bottomDropShadow_20x2 +0.gif) http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/sideDropShadow_20x20. +gif) http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/dropshadow2_20x10.gif +) http://include.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/css/ebay.css http://include.ebaystatic.com/'; http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/ebaybase.js http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/ebaysup.js http://search.ebay.com/',
% wget -qO - http://www.ebay.com | perl -MURI::Find::Rule -wlne ' print $_->[1] for URI::Find::Rule->scheme("http")->in($_)'|head http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/homepage.js http://include.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/us/css/homepage.css http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/bottomDropShadow_20x2 +0.gif http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/sideDropShadow_20x20. +gif http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/userSitePrefs/dropshadow2_20x10.gif http://include.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/css/ebay.css http://include.ebaystatic.com/ http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/ebaybase.js http://include.ebaystatic.com/js/v/us/ebaysup.js http://search.ebay.com/
Update: Fixed the incorrect wording. As merlyn pointed out, the unwanted trailing characters are valid URL characters. Still I think they could be a problem in the case of the application the OP described. Therefore, in this case, R::C is not the most straighforward solution.
