Perl question

[Eric Schwartz]

Hello all,

I have a perl programing question, any help you guys could offer would be 
greatly appreciated.
I am trying to search an HTML page for specific data.  I have bolded the 
text that I want to separate.  The problem is that the next piece of HTML 
after this is for Cyan cartridge.  And I want to save BLACK CARTRIDGE: 
Estimated pages Remaining: 6798, then after that do the Cyan and so 
forth.  I don't know how to modify the code you wrote for me, to save Black 
Cartridge, then save estimated pages remaining and the number after it, 
without confusing it for the "cyan" estimated pages remaining.  I hope this 
question is not too confusing, as I am new to programing, I appreciate all 
your help.  Thanks again

Here is an excerpt of the HTML:

<td valign=     op"><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="1">BLACK 
CARTRIDGE<br>HP Part Number:     HP C9720A</font>
                                                 </td>
                                                 <td valign=     op"><font 
face="Arial,Helvetica" size="1">86%<br></font>
                                                 </td>
                                         </tr>
                                         <tr>
                                                 <td width="10%"><table 
border="1" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/Empty_Supply_Gif.gif" alt="">
                                                 </td></tr></table></td>
                                                 <td width="80%"><table 
border="1" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table  border="0" cellspacing="0" width="86%" height="24" 
bgcolor="#000000" valign="top">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
                                                 </td>
                                                 <td width="10%"><table 
border="1" width="100%"><tr><td><img src="images/Full_Supply_Gif.gif" alt="">
                                                 </td></tr></table></td>
                                         </tr>
                                 </table></td></tr>
                                 <tr><td><table border="0" 
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" 
summary="This table details consumable supply information">
                                         <tr>
<td width="90%">
<p align="left"><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="1" color="#000000">
Estimated Pages Remaining:
</font></p>
</td>
<td width="10%">
<p align="right"><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="1" color="#000000">
6798
</font></p>
</td>
</tr>

Here is a piece of the perl that I am using, and does not seem to be 
working.  Remember I need to pull all of the bolded stuff in order.

$buffer = get('http://ipaddress);

print "\nHP 4600 PRINTER STATUS\n\n";


($etapagerem) = $buffer
         =~ /BLACK CARTRIDGE\s*(?:<.*?>\s*)/s;

print "Estimated Pages Remaining: $etapagerem\n";


Thanks for all your help.
