You might also want to think about setting $/ = "" rather than $/ = "\n\n".
Using "" will define the line separator as one *or more* blank lines, while
"\n\n" will match only a single one (so for example if there are three
consecutive \n's the third will be assigned to the next paragraph). See
perldoc perlvar for a better explanation.
