The HTML document I'm trying to write this for is rather simple. It's a ordered list of quiz questions, followed by answers like this:

<ol>
<li>
Question? Answer.
<li>
Question? Answer.
<li>
Statement. Response to statement.
<li>
Question?
<pre>Answer</pre>
</ol>

What I'm trying to do is, get all of the questions into an array, and then put the quiz into a hash of questions and corresponding answers. So far I've removed the code, and span tags, removed the whitespace, and the extra newline characters. The questions always follow an <li> tag, with the answers coming after a question mark most times, but sometimes they follow <pre> tags and end at the closing pre tag, and some "questions" aren't questions at all and are statements that you respond to.

I tried to push @questions, $1 but it still isn't printing anything when I 

foreach(@questions) {
print "$_\n";
