if I have understood you correctly, this will do
$line =~ s/\$\d+|\$|<.*?>//g;
will make $line to
Lord: Of The Rings
BTW
perlretut is your friend.
Please form your question correctly, I am not clear with your question. :(

-- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
