You are right. < introduces the list separator character, so your working
regex becomes /cr[Ii]pt>/ (using / to quote, perlishly). The failing regex
becomes a list of regexes, most of which are syntax errors /Ss]cr/ or
/Ii]/ or /Pp]/ or /Tt]>/.
You can avoid the < problem by starting the list of regexes with <: to
explicitly set the list separator character to : which is the same as
the default.
Or you can make your regex more readable by setting case-insensitive mode
as in (?i)<script> which also avoids the list separator problem.
