Indeed.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $line = "<elem1><elema>a < bad</elema>e1 < bad <elemb>b1 >
bad<elemc>c</elemc>b2</elemb>e2</elem1>";
my @insides = $line =~ m{ \<elem1\> (.*?) \<\/elem1\> }gmsx;
for my $inside ( @insides ){
while( $inside =~ m{ \G \<([^>^\s]*)\>[^<]* }gmsx ){
my $element = $1;
# unless( $element =~ m{ \A \/ }msx ){
print "$1\n";
# }
}
}
Any ideas...
The [^<]* works to strip out "descendants text nodes" but not when < and > are
present.

You mean all the descendants. The children of elem1 are elema and
elemb. The descendants of elem1 are elema, elemb, and elemc.

Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about
coding.
