Add \Q...\E in the search pattern. Now you will get the correct output.

$string =~ s/\Q$str2Brepl\E/$strRepl/mi;
print "$string";

    The Functionality works if the $string value is changed to as below 
    my $string ='<item name="a"><text></text></item><vertical name="Busine
+sses" combination="and">
        <Busines name="Content">
              
               <BusinessNames min-entity="1" max-entity="10">';

    I think the "</description>" needs to be handled differently in the search and replace regex.

      After removing the description part, you are getting correct output, because it has special characters which has to be escaped. Whenever if you have any special characters in the search pattern you need to use \Q...\E. You go through perlre.
