Ah! But TokeParser gets me where I want to go. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use English;
use warnings;
use HTML::TokeParser;

my $doc = <<EOF;
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript">
document.write("Don't forget your </script> tag! It's important!");
</script>
</head>
<body>
This is just some text.
</body>
</html>
EOF

my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$doc);

my $result;
my $skipping = 0;
while (my $tok = $p->get_token) {
  if ($tok->[0] eq 'S') {
    if (lc($tok->[1]) eq 'script') {
      $skipping = 1;
    } elsif (!$skipping) {
      $result .= $tok->[-1];
      $result .= $p->get_text;
    }
  } elsif ($tok->[0] eq 'E') {
    if (lc($tok->[1]) eq 'script') {
      $skipping = 0;
    } elsif (!$skipping) {
      $result .= $tok->[-1];
      $result .= $p->get_text;
    }
  } elsif (!$skipping) {
    $result .= $tok->[-1];
    $result .= $p->get_text;
  }
}

print 'Result: ', $result, "\n";

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
