It is better to use some ready-to-eat kind of CPAN module. However if you want a simple soltion then here it is.
It will work for following kinds of tags
1) <script> ( should be deleted )
2) <script a="aaa"> (should be deleted )
3) <script1> (This should be retained by regex)
4) ANY OTHER TAG other than mentioned above (This should be retained by regex)
## This is required so that we can escape processing of tags like <scr
+ipt1>, <scriptabc>,<scriptxyz>....etc from deletion
s/<script>/<script >/igs;
s/<script\ .*?>.*?<\/script>//igs;

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.
