see if something like this helps. Watch line wrap;
There's sure to be a better way
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $line= "[<a href=\"Javascript:performAction(\'Open
Window\');\" class=\"[%um_class1%]\"[%um_master=createUserCourse%]>Create
User</a>]";
if($line =~/^\[.+\]>/){print "goody\n";}
print "$'\n";
my $match=$';
$match=~/(.+)<\/a>\]/;
print "$1\n";
