	$str='346kjfh sdf -=-23 we >skjfh87jkfh4389  jkhwe8987<';
	($wanted_text) = $str=~/>(.*?)</;

That was for non-greedy matches. If you want greedy matches:

	($wanted_text) = $str=~/>(.*)</;

	$str = 'sjh 517(lsls-sdff-sdfd-sf  ihee)';
	($between_brackets)= $str=~/\((.*?)\)/;
	$between_brackets=~s/[\s-]//g; # remove whitespaces and dashes
