You need to "quote" the literal / within the regular expression field,
like so:
$row[4] =~ s/<br \/>/somethinghere/g;
Or better still, use a different delimiter:
$row[4] =~ s|<br />|somethinghere|g;
Also, are you sure there will always be a single space after the br?
If not, put an asterisk after it, which means any number of spaces,
including 0, is okay:
$row[4] =~ s|<br */>|somethinghere|g;

Then I think you want:
$row[4] =~ s|<br */>|<br>|g;
I won't even ask how you got those messed up line-break tags there
in the first place! 8-}
