I am currently splitting this data into single lines, and then doing a foreach, and a regex match to grab the title/URL's;

Code:
           $line =~ m/\<A href=\"(.+?)\"\>(.+?)\<\/A\>/ and $url = $1, $title = $2;

Basically, because parts of the HTML are on seperate lines, I need a way to grab the URL's, and put them into an array. I could use HTML::LinkExtor, *but* because the file is in the same folder as the script (a cgi-bin), it would give a 500 IS error, and the script wouldn't grab anything.

Is there some kind of regex I can use to grab multiple links/titles at the same time?

TIA

Thanks, worked great. I ended up using;

Code:
      my @list; 
      $joined =~ s!$/!!g; 
      push(@list,"$1::$2") while ($joined =~ s/"([^"]+)">([^<]+)//);

Out of interest.. what does the 2nd line in your code do?

Cheers
