    Ok, here's my answer, spending about as much time understanding the code as the OP (you?) spent breaking down the issue:

    Don't use regexes to lift content from HTML. Use a HTML parsing module. HTML::TokeParser::Simple is highly recommended, but other equally worthwhile ones also exist.

    Makeshifts last the longest.
