parsing issue

robertw has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear perlmonks, I want to parse the following page http://www.iex.nl/Aandeel-Koers/11773/ING-Groep/historische-koersen.aspx?maand=0 I wanted to use ValueCell to split the html, in my source code it works because i get ValueCell">5,400</td> as the element i first see, however when i wrote the underneath script I got

$html = get("http://www.iex.nl/Aandeel-Koers/11773/$_/historische-koer
+sen.aspx?maand=0") 
or die "could not get http://www.iex.nl/Aandeel-Koers/11773/@_/histori
+sche-koersen.aspx"; 
@url = split(/"ValueCell"/, $html);
print $url[1];
[download]

I get no output, I appreciate your help:)
