Hi, I require your guidance for the
following problems. Any suggestions are appreciated.
1.I have this following piece of , 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 <br> in the first line. I tried
removing \n using translation $content =~ tr\n[]d;
but still program didn't work.
This is my Chunk of data :

$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>';

Following is my REGEX code :
$content =~ m /<td valign=\"top\" align=\"justify\"><font face=\"arial" size=\"2\" color=\"BA3B38\">(.*?)<\/td><\/tr>/mg
I tried using mg parameter for traversing multiple lines & global search but it didn't work.
I expect the following output but I'm not able to get any output.
