Building a regex to parse html is tricky. I suscribe to the "don't do that" school, especially as someone has already done it for you. This is one way. There are, of course, many others. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TokeParser;
my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new("index.html")
        or die "Can't open: $!";
my @results;
while (my $t = $p->get_tag( 'div' ) ){
  my $text = $p->get_trimmed_text( '/div' );
  push @results, $text;
}
print join "\n", @results;
