    No, it does not: 

    use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;

$_ = q[;document.write('<iframe src="any url" scrolling="auto" framebo
+rder="no" align="center" height="15" width="15"></iframe>');];
s/(\;do.*)(\<\/iframe\>\'\)\;)/sss/;
say
__END__
sss

    Anyway, it's easier if you use a different delimiter so that you don't have to escape the forward slashes: 

    s{(\;do.*)(</iframe>'\);)}{//eof};
