Removing information from a string

[PEFL]

I would like to remove information from a string.

An Example:

Come visit us at

http://namehere.proboards11.com/index.cgi

etc etc etc.

I would like to remove the whole line:

http://namehere.proboards11.com/index.cgi

But since you can have any name before the "." and any number after the word proboard...I have myself a little confused on how to do this.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance

If you're just trying to pull out urls, try HTML::LinkExtor.

Nfaber,

That worked to some extent, but if I had another unrelated link, that was removed as wellj being that a following link with the .cgi end was in the same string.

Thanks
