It would be wise to invest some time in reading-up on the HTML-parsers, such as HTML::Parser. Don't even try to find the content you need by using regexes. It will only work for the simplest of cases and is likely to break at the most inopportune moment.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
