I don't see anything obvious (except your variable $v has "\n"s in it and regexs normally stop at new lines - use the s modifier - m/.../sgi to pass over new lines). Can you post enough of your st.htm file so I can play with your script here? The other thing to keep in mind is the family CPAN modules HTML::Parser, HTML::TokeParser, etc. that do all of your parsing 'dirty work' for you.
