Perl text from web

Code:
 perl -MLWP::Simple -le '$s=shift;$c=get("http://genetics.emory.edu/egl/tests/view.php?testid=4125/$s/");$c=~/meta content=(.*?)name=\"Genes\"/msg; print length($1),"\t$1"' "Test Description" >output.txt

I am having trouble with this code: Can it be modified for the desired output? I attached the html source code and highlighted the information in green. Thank you very much.

Desired Output:

OMIM Gene
608222 ADSL
300806 AFF2
300382 ARK

Once again the program you've posted has absolutely nothing to do with the input or output you want. We can't "fix" this, we'd have to totally rewrite it from scratch.

Not to mention that HTML isn't trivial. You generally can't extract the parts you want with just a regex match. Also like before.

I am very unfamiliar with html and do not know the best way to accomplish.

1. going to a specific site (Emory Genetics Lab)
2. going to the Test Description tab
3. copy and paste into a new document the OMIM and gene information (highlighted text)

I apologize and thank you.

ASDs are characterized by impairments in social relationships, variable degrees of language and communication deficits, and repetitive behaviors and/or a narrow range of interests. The age of onset is prior to age 3 with a variable clinical presentation, ranging in severity both amongst individuals as well as amongst the various subtypes of ASDs. Additional clinical features may also be observed in individuals with an ASD, such as intellectual disability (up to ~50%) and seizures (~25%).<br /><br />Known genetic causes of autism include cytogenetically visible chromosome abnormalities (3-5%), copy number variants &ndash; which include submicroscopic deletions and duplications (~6-7%), and single gene disorders (~5%). <br /><br />Emory Genetics Laboratory&rsquo;s integrated testing strategy allows for a comprehensive cytogenetics, metabolic, and molecular analysis of ASD in your patient.
