You seem to have found your solution, but this is a good example of why parsing HTML with simple regexes is probably not a good idea. A true HTML parser would have probably simplified matters had it been used from the start and will make future changes easier to manage, may I suggest: HTML::TokeParser::Simple I have found it very agreeable... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
