in reply to Using a Regex to extract tagged content

I know I could use some sort of XML module for this, but I'd rather do it with a regex.

I'd rather repair my car's transmission with a toothbrush but my automechanic just laughed at me when I asked how to go about it.

Update:

For the best toothbrush you can get ahold of, try Regexp::Common. It has a "balanced" method that might help. If you decide to go the mechanic's tools route, use something along the lines of HTML::LinkExtractor, or HTML::SimpleParse, or HTML::TreeBuilder, or HTML::Parser.

    Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. It's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. Now get some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.
