 Yes, just use a switch:

 my $switch_on;

   $switch_on = 1 if /<caption>/;

   print;
 }
 __END__

What is the purpose of $switch_on here?  You set it, but you never do
anything with its value, so you might as well just do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
while (<>) {
  s/td>/th>/g;
  print;
}
__END__

You clearly have not followed the thread, and besides you have not even read the script if you say I never do anything with the value of $switch_on.

If a line contains "<caption>" $switch_on becomes true, so that the succeeding line containing "td>"s has these replaced with "th>" and the switch is consequently turned off until the next line containing "<caption>" is encountered, and so forth.

What you are proposing is of no use to the original poster, as he has already pointed out in his reply to Miraz Jordan.

Please read a thread before you repeat suggestions that have already been rejected and make false statemnts about a solution that actually works.
