I don't know, but I also don't know why you're trying to match everything. You don't
seem to be interested in text outside the title tags, so skip it. A somewhat better
match would be:
$subject =~ s/\<title\>(.*)\<\/title\>/$2/sig;
This works across line breaks & only grabs what you want. However, it'll still
probably break though. As Lee said, the better strategy is to use a parser so that you
know you're getting the right page element[s]. His code is the way to solve this.
