Specifically, your REs are failing because there is a space in the data
after the close quote for the class attribute that your REs don't have.
This a good example of why parsing html w/ REs is a fraught with fragility
process. There are better REs you could create, esp. if this is a one time
processs
if ( /store-(\w+)[^>]+>([^>]+)>/ ) {
$business_info{$1} = $2; # e.g. address => "Business Address"
}
but it's always going to be brittle
my %business_info;
while (<DATA>) {
if ( /lnk-store-item/ and %business_info ) {
# print/clean out data
print "$_ => $business_info{$_} \n" foreach sort keys %business_info;
%business_info = ();
}
if ( /store-(\w+)[^>]+>([^>]+)>/ ) {
$business_info{$1} = $2; # e.g. address => "Business Address"
}
} # while DATA
