I must have done something silly. If I run this, my whole computer locks up for a few minutes until I can kill the CMD window. Can't quite put my finger on why it won't do what I'm trying to make it do.. 
my $source = get("www.perlmonks.org"); # for example, can be any domai
+n
push(@titles, $1) while $source =~ m/<title>(.+)<\/title>/i;

print join("\n", @titles);

PS: please don't comment on "Oh he's regexing HTML!". I'm not looking to see why the match doesn't work, just why it's doing an infite loop or whatever is causing my CPU to cry when it's run.
