thanks for the info, Actually I need to add /g besides smi. Here is the script and it works for the string I provided. Here is the code 

my @script=();
open FILE, "content" or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
while (<FILE>){
 $line .= $_;
}
close FILE;
my $left = quotemeta '<script>';
my $right = quotemeta '</script>';
while( $line =~ /$left(.*?)$right/gsmi ){
    push (@script, $1);
}

But it will break if $line contains html page with other tags and following <script> contents, for example:


<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" src="" id="scptMDtl"></script>
<script language="javascript">var onWL=0;var oJS = new Object();</scri
+pt>
<script language="javascript">
       var a_fInDelItms = 0;
       var a_fPrv = 1;
    
       var a_fTxt = 0;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="txtBdy"  class="w100 txtBdy" style="display:none">
This is a test.
</textarea>
<script language="javascript">

        var a_sId = "RgAAAADz6rvTg9+xRIGTnTWlmKbHBwCeJ0LFThYQQaU\/Nvmo
+3DG+AAACNa1IAABO5K\/6RD2SRbSFY4IMoQCbAAAAFHnvAAAJ";
        var a_sCK = "TuSv+kQ9kkW0hWOCDKEAmwAAABXdNQ==";

</script>
</body>
</html>
