you should keep attributions with the stuff you quote.
PC> I tend to use..
PC> s/\s+/\s/g;
then you tend to be wrong. the replacement part of s/// is a double
quotish string and not a regex. \s is not meaningful there.
PC> myself, but for some reason I suffer from 'tr' phobia :-)
and also s/// misunderstandings :)
tr is also faster as it is designed for single char operations.

You do?!?
What on earth does that do for you?
For me (if I enable warnings which of course
I always do, even for one liners), it gives:
"Unrecognized escape \s passed through"
s/\s+/ /g;
would work, though.

$string =~ /<a href = ".*?">(.*?)<\/a>.*?$/;
The question mark in this type of a usage says don't be greedy, match
only what you must.
The $ on the end says to match from the end of the string, and the .*?
just before it causes the regex to match the last close a tag in the
string.

If you're going to be parsing a simple HTML file that you wrote, or which
never changes, you can use regular expressions.
However, if you're getting this HTML from somewhere else, Murphy's Law
states that sooner or later someone's going to change your example line
to:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">...
or <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/" >...
or <a href='http://www.yahoo.com/'>
or <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/" style="color:red">...
or <a style="color:red" href="http://www.yahoo.com/">...
and so on. If you're tying to extract text from HTML in general, best to
go with one of the standard HTML parsing packages; HTML::TokeParser is
the one I usually go with.

Don't really care to have to deal with setting up a development
environment on a MS-Win box. (To be perfectly honest, and I'm not
trying to start an OS religious war here: I really don't much like
MS-Windows. I'm *trying* to do as little under the Win32 environment
as I must. I certainly don't want to have to deal with "developing"
under it. All I'm trying to do is create some cross-platform,
Perl/Tk and MySQL business apps. The plan is to develop under 'nix
and test on Win32. I already tried this with Java and, while I like
the *concept* of Java, the execution, IMHO, rather, well... sucks.
*shrug* So I'm taking a shot at it with Perl. [No, I'm not trying
to start a languages religious flame war, either.])

I'm guessing that would only do it for Perl-only modules? That
anything with C/C++ code in them would require a compiler (and who
knows what else). IIRC, somebody mentioned that, furthermore,
compiling your own requires a build environment compatible with
whatever ActiveState used. Tk::TableMatrix does have C code in it.
I solved the problem by backing-off to AS build 6xx.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Jim

Aehmmmm, well, there are two areas you need to address: computer language
theory and compiler construction.
Both are typically multi-semester focus areas in a master degree program.
Today most new languages are developed by a team (anywhere from 3-4 up to 20
or 30 people) of experts in those areas. Not to discourage you but it is
very rare that a single person comes up with a new language all of it's own.
And if you have no experience in neither comp lang theory nor compiler
construction then chances are you won't finish this very ambitious project.
I worked in a small group who created a new programming language myself. It
is not easy!
You should know the difference between a context-free and a
context-sensitive language, the difference between a context-free language
and a context-free grammar, how to resolve ambigious grammars, what is EBNF,
what does LR(1) mean, what is the difference between a tokenizer and a
parser, what is an attributed syntax tree, etc., etc.
I'm just throwing in all those terms to show you that there is A LOT(!) to
learn.
Maybe it will be easier if you address a simpler problem first, like e.g.
define the format for and then write a parser for a configuration file.
Don't stop at "it almost works". Those last 5% of special cases take 90% of
the effort to get them right. And those last 5% of exceptions and special
cases is what will kill you when takling a large project like creating your
own scripting language without the experience.

why?
there are already lots af scripting languages, just to name a few:
python, perl, icon, prolog, smalltalk, lisp, C#, lua, javascript, tcl,
ruby, scheme, rexx, rebol... none of those fits your needs?

(comp.lang.perl is defunct. It has been rmgroup-ed)
Whew, so we're done developing new languages? Excellent. I can finally
check that one off my day-planner.
Luckily your ideas weren't "driving" innovation 30 years ago. We'd all
be slinging APL on our PDP-8's.

"Virtual Machine Design and Implementation" by Bill Blunden will be absolutely
invaluable to you. It's available on Amazon.com and is extremely good value
(considering it's 700 pages of down to earth, yet technically details,
information on exactly what you want).
Virtual machines might not sound entirely relevant to you at this stage, but the
book goes into the details of how systems run at the lowest level, how to create
compilers, debuggers, interpreters, and of course the virtual machine which ties
so many scripting languages together these days. (Note: It's not the place to go
to learn about stuff like BNF, but rather the technical, less conceptual, side
of things)
I reviewed it and had it posted on Slashdot:
http://books.slashdot.org/books/02/06/25/1223234.shtml?tid=156 (I have no
connection to the author or publishers, just a rabid fan of the book)
You'll not only learn so much about the task at hand, but tons about computer
science and data structures (as I did). Best technical book I ever bought in the
last twenty years, although if anyone else has some opinions on it, shoot away.
