First be sure if you have HTML you need to be using an HTML parser, not regex, to extract your lines.
Presumably this is something where the numbering's not generated by say an <ol> and you've actually pulled the text of whatever nodes out (using say HTML::TreeBuilder or Mojo::DOM) then you could use something maybe like.
my( $num, $text1, $text2 ) = $line_from_html =~ m{^ (\d+) \. \s+ (.*?)
+ \s+-\s+ (.*?) $}x;
Edit: Tweaked.
The cake is a lie.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
