Given this in $_ <p>Most popular title searches:</p><ol><li><a HREF="/title/tt0244365/">"Enterprise" (2001)</a></li>"
why would this regex not put digits in $1 ?
$data2 =~ /popular title searches:<\/p><ol><li><a HREF=\"\/title\/tt(\d*)\/\">/
Because the regex targets the $data2 variable instead of $_, possibly. I don't seen anything wrong with the expression, if that's what you're asking though.
