Heh. Your regex's are the problem.

First off, you should be use some sort of HTML parser. What if my HTML file is of the form: 

<TITLE>
Blahblah
</title>

[download]
You'd never find "Blahblah".

Secondly, the fix you're looking for is 

if ($line =~ /<TITLE(\w+)<\/TITLE>/i)
----
if ($line =~ m#<TITLE>(\w+)</TITLE>#i)

Note the backslash in front of the slash for the first one and the different regex delimiters for the second.

I have no idea what you're trying to do in your second regex. Why are you looking for the end of line with '$' before your line is done?

Also, use indentation. Your code should look something like: 

use File::Find;

sub wanted {
    if( -f $_ = '*.htm* ) {
        open ( F, $_ ) or die $/, $/;
        while( defined( $line = <F> ) ) {
            if($line =~ /<TITLE>(\w+)</TITLE>/i) {
                print "FILE = $_  and TITLE = $1\n";
            } elsif( $line =~ /<title>(.*$)<title>/i) {
                print "FILE = $_  and TITLE = $1\n";
            }
        }
        close F;
    }
}

find( \&wanted, "." );

See how much easier that is to read?
