You'll need to add the 'm' modifier to the regular expression to allow 
it to search multiple lines in the string.  If you want the '.' in the 
regex to match carriage returns, you'll also need an 's'.

I suggest reading 'man perlre' for more details.

Always leave room to add an explanation if it doesn't work out.
