I'll help with the regex requirements.
#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $text = "<tag>\n\tThe purpose of the applicant rating session is fo
+r you,\nthe applicant, to provide a sample of your\t\neffective teach
+ing skills.</tag>";
$text =~ s/\s+/ /g; # convert white space to a single space
print $text;
The print statement is just there to show what's taken place.
edited to match the given example...
Of course, this still leaves a space between the tag and the text... dpuu and Ovid both give better ways of doing it... but I wasn't paying attention.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
