I think you're best off trying the following regex:
s:qtd:\Q/td\E:gs;
\Q..\E ignore ANY "special" characters between them, with the possible exception of \ itself.
$variables are interpolated before this occurs, so you can validly go s"blah"\Q$something\E"gs;
if you so wish - using the s''' form

There's probably a way to not create the .bak file but I haven't spent
any time on it. I'd love to hear a better solution though, please
share if you find one.
