You've got one obvious error, and that maybe due to copying from a HTML page:
$line=;
should be
$line=<IN>;
Furthermore, it might be a good idea to add the /g flag to your regex in the while condition. That way, it won't try to match again and again from the start, but instead it'll continue next time where it left off last time.
while ($line=~m/([123]?[.s]*[a-z\=.]+)/ig)
Oh, the /o is useless, you don't have a variable in your regex. So I dropped it.

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).
