This works for me:
perl -ne "print /<NAME>(.*)<\/NAME>/" file.txt
/bob
In general regular expressions are poor at parsing XML & HTML, but for a one-liner hack, whatever works for you is ok.

I am completely new to perl programming. My father is helping me learn said programming language. However, I am stuck on one of the assignments he has given me, and I can't find very much help with it via google, either because I have a tiny attention span, or because I can be very very dense.

xml::libxml::regexp
XML::LibXML::RegExp(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::LibXML::RegExp(3)
NAME
XML::LibXML::RegExp - XML::LibXML::RegExp - interface to libxml2 regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML;
my $compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new('[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?');
if ($compiled_re->isDeterministic()) { ... }
if ($compiled_re->matches($string)) { ... }
$compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new( $regexp_str );
$bool = $compiled_re->matches($string);
$bool = $compiled_re->isDeterministic();
DESCRIPTION
This is a perl interface to libxml2's implementation of regular expressions, which are used e.g. for validation of XML Schema simple types
(pattern facet).
new()
$compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new( $regexp_str );
The constructor takes a string containing a regular expression and returns a compiled regexp object.
matches($string)
$bool = $compiled_re->matches($string);
Given a string value, returns a true value if the value is matched by the compiled regular expression.
isDeterministic()
$bool = $compiled_re->isDeterministic();
Returns a true value if the regular expression is deterministic; returns false otherwise. (See the definition of determinism in the XML
spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#determinism <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#determinism>))
