That should probably be:
$string  =~ s/<st1(.*)>(.*)<\/st1(.*)>/$2/sm;


I'd probably just do:
     $line =~ s/<\/?st1:(.*\s?.*?):st=\"on\">//;
Using .* a lot can get ugly and doesn't include whitespace.


I think that would translate to PHP as:
  ereg_replace('<\/?st1:(.*\s?.*?):st=\"on\">', '', $string);
