Please don't try and parse HTML yourself. To extract links from an HTML document, see HTML::LinkExtor.

Please do use the search box at the top of every PM page. I typed in 'extract links', and here are a few of the results it returned:

• How do I parse links out of a web page
• How can I find the links in HTML tags?
• Filter Links in HTML-documents, and in that thread: Re: Filter Links in HTML-documents

As an aside, please read some of the documentation on the site before posting. For a good starter, read all of the documents linked from footpad's Re: FAQ Node.
