in reply to regex and dot to star

Ok, in your regex line there's a little error, but that might be, because of memory hacking. 
$html =~ s/<a href="(.*?)" group="(.*?)">(.*?)</a>/&change($1, $2, $3)
+/isge;
must be
$html =~ s/<a href="(.*?)" group="(.*?)">(.*?)<\/a>/&change($1, $2, $3
+)/isge;

This works fine for the given line.
Maybe you could give us an example of a working and a not working input line?

    Yes THX,
    You are right, but syntax which I try is allright - this one is my mistake (when I wrote question). I read some new posts abour (.*?)..... What about use "^"+" instead? To closely describe what script do:

    It seems that regex take two or more hyperlink as one..... This is the part of source html code: 

      <tr>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="readcsvplus.pl?config=firm
+s.pl&sort_a=id&template=5" group="1"><b><font size="2">výpis<br>spole
+čností</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="../../../../addfirm.shtml"
+ group="2"><b><font size="2">přidej<br>společnost</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="cookie.pl?config=login.pl&
+method=logout" group="1"><b><font size="2">logout</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">výpis<br>zakázek<
+/font></b></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="../../../../addorder.shtml
+"><b><font size="2">přidej<br>zakázku</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></b>
+</td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">výpis<br>uživatel
+ů</font></b></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="../../../../adduser.shtml"
+ group="5"><b><font size="2">přidej<br>uživatele</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="12%" align="center"><b><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></b>
+</td>
  </tr>

    this is the result:

      <tr>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="readcsvplus.pl?config=firm
+s.pl&sort_a=id&template=5"><b><font size="2">výpis<br>společností</fo
+nt></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">přidej<br>společn
+ost</font></b></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><a href="cookie.pl?config=login.pl&
+method=logout"><b><font size="2">logout</font></b></a></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">výpis<br>zakázek<
+/font></b></td>
    <td width="11%" align="center"><b><font size="2">přidej<br>uživate
+le</font></b></td>
    <td width="12%" align="center"><b><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></b>
+</td>
  </tr>
