Regex not working

imrags has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to remove html tags and fetch the html table data..
I've come to a stage where i need the table between these two html tags:

<div class='roundedBoxBody'><p>
#table that i need
<p>&nbsp;</p></p>
[download]

So, i wrote this regex to get the content

$x = "<div class=\'roundedBoxBody\'><p>";
$y = '<p>&nbsp\;</p></p>';
$content =~ /$x(.*)$y/ and $content_out = $1;
print $content_out;
[download]

However, it doesn't work, it doesn't give any error as well.
Is there a way to strip the html tags and take the table content into html?
What is the mistake in the code above?
