This is from perlfaq6 - Regexes :
=====
I'm having trouble matching over more than one line. What's wrong?
Here's code that finds everything between START and END in a paragraph:
 undef $/; # read in whole file, not just one line or
paragraph
 while ( <> ) {
 while ( /START(.*?)END/sm ) { # /s makes . cross line boundaries
 print "1ドル\n";
 }
 }
