If you want to differentiate between addresses in anchor tags and other uses of "mailto:" in the file, read the entire file into memory and use the match operator (m//). As suggested previously, you should use Regexp::Common::Email::Address to help compose a regular expression for the email address and enclosing HTML. I would use "\s+" between the "a" and "href" and "\s*" adjacent to the equal sign to match HTML's treatment of whitespace. Note that HTML allows quoting with both single and double quotes. Also, older HTML allowed you to not quote the information after the equal sign in some circumstances.

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).
