I would first strip out everything from the start to <BODY>, then everything
from </BODY> to the end...

$test2convert =~ s/^.*\<BODY\>// ;
$test2convert =~ s/\<\/BODY\>.*$// ;

Remove any existing newlines...

$test2convert =~ s/\n// ;

Are you sure that the paragraph tags are always paired up? If so, you could
always strip out the <p>s and substitute the </p> with \n . If you don't
have control over the input, then this would be a big assumption to make.

But it might give you ideas to start with based on how complex the data
is...

Good luck.
