Okay, here is the relevant (I think) piece of the code

    if ($tempType eq "Bid") {
         while ($content =~m%<td class="marketWatch" style="width: 20p
+x;"><p class="pngfix" id="market-watch-(.+?)">&#160;</p>.*?ugid=(.+?)
+&marketId=(.+?)&action=add';};.+?<td style="width: 22\%;">\s+<a href=
+"/marketplace/sports/nfl/super-bowl-xliii.*?>(.+?)</a>\s+</td>\s+<td 
+class="qty">.+?(?:"selected"\s+?>|<input type="hidden" id="qty_select
+_\d+" value=")(.+?)(?:</option>|"/>).+?<span class="price">\$(.+?)</s
+pan>%gs) {

           print(STDERR  "[", pos($content), "]") ;
           $tempCount = $tempCount+1 ;
           print "\ntempCount = $tempCount\n" ;
           $tempMarketWatchID = $1 ;
           $tempugID = $2 ;
           $tempmarketID = $3 ;
           $tempLocation = $4 ;
           $tempBidQuantity = $5 ;
           $tempBid = $6 ;
           $tempLocation =~ s/^\s+// ;
           $tempLocation =~ s/\s+$// ;
       print "$date\t$time\t$tempType\t$teamName\t$tempMarketWatchID\t
+$tempugID\t$tempmarketID\t$tempLocation\t$tempBidQuantity\t$tempBid\n
+" ;


        } #end while
        print "Leaving the bid while\n" ;
    } #end if

The pages that cause my code to hang are the colts and the jets. There maybe others, but I know that every page prior to the jets works fine. After the jets URL, I don't know as I have not tested. (The colts used to be earlier in my list, but I moved it when it started hanging.)
