Looks like frozenwithjoy already set you up with your regex, but I would suggest taking a look at perlintro (safety net) and begin using strictures in your code.

use warnings will save you time and frustration in debugging and use strict will help you write and maintain cleaner code. There are a multitude of nodes on PerlMonks that support the use of strictures.

use strict
why use strict is good, and barewords are bad
why you should use strict
Why use strict/warnings?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
