Why does this code as a Unix filter not delete table column 1?

s/(^<tr>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<\/tr>)/\1\3\4<\/tr>/;
print;

Instead, all selected text is replaced with nothing. What about this script is malformed?

It has nothing to print, so it prints nothing.


#!/usr/bin/perl
while(<>){
  s/(^<tr>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<td>.*?<\/td>)(<\/tr>)/\1\3\4<\/tr>/;
  print;
