Hi. Ur problem probably has to do with how ur eating the HTML file. A regex with /s needs the entire file in one variable. If u do a line by line with <FILE> it won't work since u won't have everything in one var. Give this a try.
$file = join "", <FILE>; @divmatches = $file =~ m/<div[^>]*>(.+?)<\/div>/sg; As others have said using one of the HTML modules is the best way to handle general parsing, but in trivial cases simple regex's like this are fine.
