I would use something like the HTML::TreeBuilder module to extract
information out of HTML data.
If you want to stick with pattern matching, following should be
informative:
perldoc perlretut (or http://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html)
perldoc perlre (or http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html)

The match operator works on a string, not on an array.

I used Mirco Wahab's solution and it worked for some of the cases but
now I am stuck at parsing this line.
Address
City State V2X
6J3
Canada
I want to parse each section into a variable using qr. so for the
Address I used
# this line works fine and I get the address
portion
.+?
([^&]+) \; # this part doesn't work meaning that I
don't get anything for city
Any help would much appreciated.

If you want help with a program, you need to post a complete, working,
short-as-possible version that demonstrates the problem you are having.
You are running up against the problem of parsing HTML with regular
expressions. Mirco's code was for a very simple case. As your actual
cases become more complex, you have to add more complexity to your REs.
Maybe it is time to consider Mirco's first recommendation: learn to use
an HTML-parsing module, such as HTML::Parser.
