Adding a space between two [] worked fine for me. This may be due to the fact that perl tries to parse the second '[]' as extra dimension.
Monks, if wrong please correct me.
use strict;
use warnings;
my %imlre = ('RE1' => ['RE1', 'body', 'measure', 'remove'], 'RE2' => [
+'RE2', 'jcode', '', 'remove']);
my $input = '<front>front matter comes here</front><body>bodymatter co
+mes here</body><back>back matter</back>';
for (keys %imlre)
{
if ($imlre{$_}->[3] =~ /^remove$/i)
{
$input =~ s/<$imlre{$_}->[1] [^>]*>//xg ; #here getting error
#$input =~ s/<$imlre{$_}->[1]([^>]*)>//g ; #here no error
}
}
print $input;

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).
