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; }

lwp-dump5.12

LWP-DUMP(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       LWP-DUMP(1)

NAME

       lwp-dump - See what headers and content is returned for a URL

SYNOPSIS

       lwp-dump [ options ] URL

DESCRIPTION

       The lwp-dump program will get the resource indentified by the URL and then dump the response object to STDOUT.  This will display the
       headers returned and the initial part of the content, escaped so that it's safe to display even binary content.	The escapes syntax used is
       the same as for Perl's double quoted strings.  If there is no content the string "(no content)" is shown in its place.

       The following options are recognized:

       --agent str
	   Override the user agent string passed to the server.

       --keep-client-headers
	   LWP internally generate various "Client-*" headers that are stripped by lwp-dump in order to show the headers exactly as the server
	   provided them.  This option will suppress this.

       --max-length n
	   How much of the content to show.  The default is 512.  Set this to 0 for unlimited.

	   If the content is longer then the string is chopped at the limit and the string "...
(### more bytes not shown)" appended.

       --method str
	   Use the given method for the request instead of the default "GET".

       --parse-head
	   By default lwp-dump will not try to initialize headers by looking at the head section of HTML documents.  This option enables this.
	   This corresponds to "parse_head" in LWP::UserAgent.

       --request
	   Also dump the request sent.
