This looks an awful lot like a homework (I can't imagine how else you
would come across such a problem), so here's a quick pointer which
you'll be able to use if you've covered much in the way of the basics of
Perl[0]:

if ($_ =~ /[XYZ](.*)[/XYZ]/){
	$importantStuff = $importatStuff.$1;
}

Remember, Perl is often little more than a glorified regular
expression engine! :)

[0] I note that even if you haven't, from some of the other responses
you should be able to piece together a script.
