Yes, but notice that you escaped one of those semicolons... In the original, the semicolon that was part of the smiley was not escaped.

The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously. -- Nicholas Butler

    Please familiarize yourself with the quoting rules in Perl. All of the following work as well: 
    $body =~ ss<img(.+?)="Wink">s;)sg;
$body =~ s$<img(.+?)="Wink">$;)$g;
$body =~ s,<img(.+?)="Wink">,;),g;
$body =~ s[<img(.+?)="Wink">]\;)\g;
$body =~ s}<img(.+?)="Wink">}{;)}g;
$body =~ s&<img(.+?)="Wink">&;)&g;
# .. ad nauseam
