Scenario 1

my $comment="<Comment>These are the wild characters value @#$%^&*<\Com
+ment>";

if ($comment !~ /\<Comment\>*[^|<|^>|^\/]*\<\/Comment\>/) {

   print "Passed the test as there were no > < / in the comment \n";
}

Scenario 2

my $comment="<Comment>These are the wild characters value @#$%^&*   > 
+< / <\Comment>";

if ($comment !~ /\<Comment\>*[^|<|^>|^\/]*\<\/Comment\>/) {

   print "Passed the test as there were no > < / in the comment \n";
}
else {
   print "Failed the test as there were > < / characters in the commen
+t \n";
}


User will input the following as a comment. 

And the regular expression should negate any < > / character entered a
+s sentence in the USERSTORY .

<Comment>USERSTORY<\Comment>

I need to negate XML tags(< > and /) in a sentence(basically a comment entered)

which is entered in between xml tags .

Here is what i am doing .Please let me know if the regular expression that i have is doing the right thing.

I am having two scenarios where the first one should pass and second one should fail

User will input the following as a comment.

And the regular expression should negate any < > / character entered as sentence in the USERSTORY .

<Comment>USERSTORY<\Comment>
