I am trying to read this text file and extract the values into the $1,$2 so forth variables, but it seems not to work. It's not letting me match the <?--1-1--> and </?--1-1--> tags. Any help on how I could to the match and use its values stored into the variables above? Thanks a lot!!!!! Here is the text file I am trying to do the match against:

<?--1-1-->
<b>This is option 1 ok</b>
</?--1-1-->
<?--1-2-->
<b>This is option 1 version b</b> 
</?--1-2-->
<?--1-3-->
<b>Option 1 version 3</b>
</?--1-3-->
<?--1-Version4-->
<b>Option 1 version 4 Perl</b>
</?--1-Version4-->

Here is the piece of the code trying to extract the information from the text file.

my $filename="test.txt";
     my $template_data = "/content".$filename;
    open(DATA_IN, "$template_data") || print "Can't open output file1:
+ $template_data\n";
    #my @file = <DATA_IN>;  # read it into @file
    #foreach my $line (@file){
        #chomp($line);
        #print @file;
        while(<DATA_IN>){
    #   if($line =~/^(<\?--\.*\-\.*\-->)\s(.*)\s(<\/\?--\.*\-\.*\-->)\
+s/ig){
     #  if($_=~/^<\?--(.*)-(.*)-->(.*)<\/\?--(.*)-(.*)-->/){
          # if($_=~/(<\?--(.*)-(.*)-->)(.*)(<(.*)>)/g){
    #<?--1-1-->
       if($_=~/^<\?--(.*)-(.*)-->(.*)<\/\?--(.*)-(.*)-->/g){
#           if($_=~/^<(.*)>(.*)<(.*)>/g){
           print "<b>$1</b>";
           print $2;
           print "<b>$3</b>";
           }else{
                          
                    print "$Nothing";
        }
    }
