this is what I ended up doing and it seems to work, unless you see a potiental
problem with it:
$imageURL =~ /<IMG SRC=\"picserve.cgi\?picserve=\/(.*)\" BORDER=0>/;
$audioimage = $1;
this give the image filename i needed.

Your small error is forgetting that the question mark is a
metacharacter. See the perlre documentation.
Your medium error is misusing the syntax of the m// pattern match
operator. See perlop.
Your large error is trying to use a regular expression to manipulate
HTML. Use a robust module from CPAN.

You could get away with a pattern instead of a module if you have a
very simple case. But using a module means a simpler pattern, and less
chance of something going wrong as a result.
Hope this helps!
