Whenever I need matches over multiples lines I generally read the text into
one string (assuming its not too large) and then just match over newlines:
$foo = "some input text with newlines..."
@matches = $foo =~ /some pattern/sg;
read up on the modifiers (s will match newlines), adjust your patten and you
should be set.
