This works for me:

use strict;
use warnings;

for(<DATA>){
print if s/.*a href="(.*)".*/$1/;
}
__DATA__
  <td scope="row">9</td>
            <td scope="row">SUBSIDIARIES OF THE REGISTRANT</td>
            <td scope="row"><a href="/Archives/edgar/data/1050122/0000
+92735601000365/0000927356-01-000365-0009.txt">0009.txt</a></td>
            <td scope="row">EX-21.1</td>

Output:

EDIT: It seems that $/ = "</html>"; manipulates the input record seperator in such a way it does completely break the functionality of the simple regex. Do yu have any links to documentation on this $/ = "</html>"; ?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
