Hi, I am a newbie to PERL. I require your guidance for the
following problems. Any suggestions are appreciated. 1.I have this following piece of code, but I am unable to
get the required chunk of data i.e. the values between <br>color="BA3B38"> and  </td></tr>. But I am unable to get
past the first
in the first line. I tried
removing \n using translation $content =~ tr\n[]d;
but still program didn't work. 
$content='<td valign="top" align="justify"><font face="arial" size="2"
+ color="BA3B38">Java and databases make a powerful combination. <br>

Getting the two sides <br>
to work together <br>
Takes some effort to work together
JDBC 2  javax.SQL
</td></tr>';

$content =~ m{<td valign="top" align="justify"><font face="arial" size
+="2" color="BA3B38">([.*?]+)<\td><\tr>};
print "$1\n\n";

2. I have the following chunk of code. In this I require UK
Pound and price and USD and its respective price. The
problem we are facing is we are unable to get the price
(i.e. number 12 and 27) portion and in this is
also we are facing new line character problem when
trying to extract the whole chunk and process values one by one. 
<tr><td><font face="verdana" size="1"><b>Product Name</b> </td><td>:</
+td>
    <td><div align="justify"><font face="verdana" size="1">Queen of Al
+ls</div></td>
    <td rowspan="5" valign="top"><img src="pictures/queen.gif"></td></
+tr>
</tr>


<tr><td><font face="verdana" size="1"><b>Price(UK Pound)</b></td><td>:
+</td>

    <td><font face="verdana" size="1">12.00</td></tr>
<tr><td><font face="verdana" size="1"><b>Price($)</b></td><td>:</td>
    <td><font face="verdana" size="1">$27.27</td></tr>

    
<tr valign="TOP"><td><font face="verdana" size="1"><b>Description</b><
+/td><td>:</td></tr>

3."Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when
decoding entities at D:/Perl/site/lib/LWP/Protocol.pm
line 114." Any solution to this problem.

Thanks,
