This snippet works for me:

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use Data::Dumper;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

my $res = $ua->get("http://www.shlomifish.org/");

my @p = ($res->content() =~ m{<p(.*?)</p>});

print Dumper(\@p);
}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I'm using perl-5.8.8-12mdv2008.0 on Mandriva Cooker. It would be useful if you 
could provide a full script that reproduces this problem, and mention your 
perl version and platform.
