if you're trying to match that entire string you could try this
this matches from the first tag to the last tag
I hope I understood what you we're trying to do
$content = "<head><body blah></body><foo></foo></head>";
$content =~ m[^(<(.+?)>.*?</\2>)$];
print $1."\n";

if you just wanted to match and print out the individual tags you could do this
$content = "<head><body blah></body><foo></foo></head>";
while ($content =~ m[(<.+?>)]g) {
    print $1."\n";
}
