I wrote this small script that uploads a picture to TinyPic.com using WWW::Mechanize, but I've never been that good with pattern matching and I'm trying to extract the URL to the image after its been uploaded from the pages contents. Script Code 
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( stack_depth => 1, agent =>"Mozilla/5.0
+ (X11; U; Linux i68+6; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040918 Firefox/0.9.3 ")
+;
my $pic = "C:\/LV3.JPG";
$mech->cookie_jar( HTTP::Cookies->new() );
$mech->get("http://tinypic.com");
if($mech->content() =~ /UPLOAD NOW/ ){
    print "TinyPic loaded... ";
    $mech->form_name("upload_form");
    $mech->field('the_file' => $pic);
    $mech->submit();
}

[download]
and this is the mech->content from the page after it's been uploaded 
            <html>
             <head>
              <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; char
+set=iso-8859-1" />
              <meta name="description" content="TinyPic, a Photobucket

              <meta name="keywords" content="images, photos, videos, m

             <body>

                 <script language="javascript">document.myform.submit(

                 </form>
                 <strong><a href="http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=86gj

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=86gjua9 is what I'm trying to get it to pull from the page content
