in thread Patern matching html.

I read the article in Perl Journal. Im not sure if its solution would work well with my situation. The data I'm looking for is not embedded within html tokens but is within javascript functions within the html source. Unless I am mistaken, HTML::Treebuilder will not be able to help me with this problem. The data I am looking for is within some Javascript calls like if (day = 10) document.write("The data I want")

I have not used these modules so maybee I am missing something. About all I can see using them for is to grab all the functions within the <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> .... blah blah ... </script> tags. But even this doesnt seem as straight forward since there are three diferent script sections and once I get the data I still have to parse it with a regular expression, right??

Thanks!
