Dear Monks,
I need to change all the data in some HTML file. Now since the data is between tags. I capture data like this. (Please assume that $htmlbuffer contains containts of HTML file.)
$htmlbuffer =~ s{>(.*?)<}
{
    my ($mydata) = ($1);
$mydata =~ s/abcd/efgh/gs;
$mydata =~ s/yyy/zzz/gs;
“>$mydata<”
}exgs;

Now here what happens is; the buffer $htmlbuffer gets called many times, just because I want to process data between tags and don’t want to disturb tags. I face same problem while processing XML data also.
This is slowing the program. I am sure someone expert will suggest me a better way.

Regards,
Sandeep
