Re^4: regular expression and nested tags

That doesn't work. I must be doing something wrong:

#!perl
$a = 'A<div>B<div>C<div>D</div>E</div>F</div>G';
$a =~ m%<div>((?:(?!</div>).)*)</div>%;
print "=$1=\n";

I want to get just =D=. Also tried variations of this advanced patterns like look-behind without success.
