The original question was to my understanding: "can I parse this HTML in a single regex". And the answer is yes! One solution is shown below. The code is a bit tedious but it is straightforward and can be understood with some methodical thinking.

However there are a lot of pitfalls with this approach. Not the least of which is that the user layout of these HTML pages can change from one day to the next. Some of these HTML parser modules are more robust in terms of being able to handle something that "didn't quite look like it did before" and there are a zillion ways that can happen. These "one-off" things like below tend to be very single purpose rather than general purpose. So there are some trade-offs that evolve things that we haven't even begun to discuss here.

Anyway, I think you have a number of excellent approaches in this thread and one of them or a derivative of it will work find for you. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $doc =<<FORM;
<div><label>Emp ID:</label> AASDFG <br><label>Mobile Num:</label> 9999
+999999 <br><label>location:</label> India <br><label>Inservice:</labe
+l>Yes </div>
FORM

my @pairs = ($doc =~ m~<label>\s*(.*?)\s*</label>\s*(.*?)\s*<~g);

while (@pairs)
{
   my ($field, $value) = splice(@pairs,0,2);
   printf "%-15s %s\n", $field, $value;
}
__END__
Emp ID:         AASDFG
Mobile Num:     9999999999
location:       India
Inservice:      Yes
