Matching Over Linefeed and Space

[Clint]

I'm trying to scrape a section of html and don't see why my regexp 
stopped working this week. The relevant two-line sample section from

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/SCZ020.php

is:

 <td><b>Barometer</b>:</td>
 <td align="right" nowrap>30.22&quot; (1023.1 mb)</td>
(notice the space before <td align="right" nowrap>)

My Perl segment (that was working until this week) is:

sub barometer {
    local $_ = shift;
    m{<td><b>Barometer</b>:</td>\n\s<td align="right" 
nowrap>(.*?)&quot;} || die "No barometer data";
    return $1;
}

(the match line is one long line, but it's wrapping here in email.)

now this match *will* find the pressure if I modify it to:
m{<td align="right" nowrap>(.*?)&quot;} || die "No barometer data";
but there are other weather quantities that I also want to grab with a 
similar html structure, but those don't have the nowrap option, so I 
need to be able to match over the two lines of html. Prior to now, the 
\n\s was functioning as expected to allow the search over a linefeed and 
one single space character -- and I can't see that the structure has 
changed any to break the search pattern.

Is there something obvious in the html structure that I've missed here? 
I appreciate any advice you might have.

Thank you,
Clint
