You need to use the g option to your regex to tell it that you want all the
matches in the string.
So
my @result = $html =~ /.*$index.*(.*)<\/blockquote>/g;
should get you closer.

Does the following code actually contain all the html code in $address?
Is there a way I could strip all the html from $content?

If writing a module is the only way to do it, can someone give a a very

Nope, that won't work because "my" by definition is only good in the current

Yeah, for normal variables, you can declare them "local", but I'm not sure
you can do that with $_. Try it by adding "local($_);" to the first line of
your subroutine. Otherwise, it will get overwritten, and you may have to
declare a variable to do what you want to do.
