Perl Regular Expression

Hello,
I am trying to use perl LWP module to read and get a specfic URL page. The issue is that the URL ends with the data and time and time is not consistent it changes all the time. if anyone could help me how to write a regular expressin that would work in the LWP::UserAgent get function to capture any time in the http line might be.

Thanks in advance...

Bata


Code:
 
require LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$d=0;
my $response4 = $ua->get("http://myurl2010-07-24_10:20.org");
         if ($response4->is_success){ print SUM  $response4->content; }
        else{ die $response4->status_line; }

WWW::IndexParser(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     WWW::IndexParser(3pm)

NAME
WWW::IndexParser - Fetch and parse the directory index from a web server SYNOPSIS
use WWW::IndexParser; my @files = WWW::IndexParser->new(url => 'http://www.example.com/dir/'); foreach my $entry (@files) { printf "%s %s ", $entry->filename, scalar(localtime($entry->time)||''); } DESCRIPTION
WWW::IndexParser is a module that uses LWP to fetch a URL from a web server. It then atempts to parse this page as if it were an auto generated index page. It returns an array of WWW::IndexParser::Entry objects, one per entry in the directory index that it has found. Each Entry has a set of methods: filename(), time(), size(), and others if supported by the autoindex generated: type() and size_units(). CONSTRUCTOR
new ( url => $url, timeout => $seconds, proxy => $proxy_url, debug => 1 ) When called with a URL to examine, this method does not return an object, but an array of WWW::IndexParser::Entry obects, one per entry in the directory listing that was accessed. The options to this are: url The complete URL of the index to fetch. timeout The timeout for the request to fetch data, default 10 seconds. proxy A proxy server URL, eg, 'http://proxy:3128/'. debug Decide if to print parsing debug information. Set to 0 (the default) to disable, or anything non-false to print. Recommened you use a digit (ie, 1) as this may become a numeric 'level' of debug in the future. METHODS
All methods are private in this module. Pass only a URL to the constructor, and it does everything for you itself. PREREQUISUTES
This modile depends upon "LWP", "HTML::Parser", "Time::Local". OSNAMES
any BUGS
Currently only supports Apache, IIS and Tomcat style auto indexes. Send suggestions for new Auto-Indexes to support to the author (along with sample HTML)! AUTHOR
