Hello monks, I wanna balance the tag with paren (escape char). Below coding does not yield correct output for me. If i remove paren around 1989, then i'm getting the correct output. Can anyone suggest me how to get the output without removing paren? 
use Regexp::Common;
use Cwd;
use Regexp::Common::balanced;

my $x = q(<extract>
dfjklasjfdk jdflkasdjflkasd (1989)
fdjsaflkajdf kkjdslkfjasdk
<extract>
dfsdlkfjdsa fdfadsfsad</extract> sajflksadjfklasd
fkasdjfsadf Close</extract> <line>
df adfjlkadf</line><extract>
dfjalkdf akdjfklasdjflkadsjfasdclose1</extract>);
my $e;
my @ele = ('extract','line');
foreach $e (@ele)
{
while ($x=~/$RE{balanced}{-begin=>"<$e"}{-end=>"<\/$e>"}{-keep}/gs)
{
  my  $begin = "$1";
  $x =~ s/($begin)/&$e($1,$e)/egsi;
print "$x\n";
}
}

sub extract
{
my $a = $_[0];
my $tag = $_[1];
$a =~ s/<\/$tag>/<\/$tagæ>/gi;
my @a=map(!/^(<e)/?("\n<e>".$_."<\/e>"):"\n".$_, split(/\n/,$a));
return "@a";
}
sub line
{
my $a = $_[0];
my $tag = $_[1];
$a =~ s/<\/$tag>/<\/1$tag>/gi;
my @a=map(!/^(<li)/?("\n<li>".$_."<\/li>"):"\n".$_, split(/\n/,$a));
return "@a";
}
