Hi,
You can of course take an HTML::Parser to do the work for you. This is the best way.
But if you really want your own regexp, I suggest to use 2 parsings, just to maintain readability. I am sure a real regexp expert can do it in one line, but here is my try.
$x="<html>/something/more words<br/></html>";
$x =~ m|<(\w+)>(.*)</\1>|g;
print "first is $1\n"; # You can put the <> around it here
$2 =~ m|(/\w+/)(.*)<br/>| ;
print "second is $1\n";
print "third is $2\n";
It is up to you to store then in arrays, but at least it gives you a hint.
This is really quick and dirty...
updateIt all depends on how much flexibity you want anyway, you can easily play around with the seperators, etc ...

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).
