One minor difference is that
splitting this way removes the close-paragraph, but not the open-paragraph, so you need to remove it.
my @arr = grep {/\[tab\]/ and s/^<p>//} split /<\/p>/, $contents;
If you wanted to retain both tags, you could do so by
splitting on a lookbehind expression:
my @arr = grep /\[tab\]/, split /(?<=<\/p>)/, $contents;
You'd also retain the paragraph-close if you used it for
$/ and read the string as a file.
{
local $/ = '</p>';
open (STR, '<', \$contents) or die "Opening string: $!\n";
@arr = grep /^<p>/ && /\[tab\]/, <STR>;
print "read $_\n" for @arr;
}
But now I'm just getting silly.
Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.

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).
