in reply to Chatter box like parser

You might want to check out one of the template modules on CPAN.
eg: HTML::Template
or: Text::Template a review of this is available here
or: Template::Toolkit
You might also look at the parsing module HTML-Parser if this suits you needs better.
Those might help you more than a single regex. All these modules have been discussed on Perlmonks, so doing a Super Search should give you lots more of information.

    The square-bracketish things used in the Everything code are not HTML-ish parsable though.

    It's probably best to go grab the Everything tarball and just steal the technology from there. Isn't that what open source is about? {grin}
