thank you for reponse!
unfortunately I have to use regex to solve this problem.
I was trying to simplify:
$file=~/<table>.+Bug.+<\/tr>\s*<tr>.+<\/tr>\s*<tr>.+?<\/tr>\s*<tr>.+?<\/tr>\s*<\/table>/;
still does not work!!!

Get rid of the "-w" and insert
use warnings;
use strict;

You should not use a regex but a proper HTML parser.
Regarding your regex:
[^(<tr>)]+
doesn't mean what you think it does. With the [^...], you are building a
character class that may not contain one of the characters "()<>rt".
See `perldoc perlre`.
