Hoot has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi
Say I have a poem called:
A Beautiful Poem Is it possible to have DOG as the pattern to match and store everything before it in a variable and everything after it in another variable? I have tried $` and $& and $' but can't get my head around the new lines etc. I want to be able to capture the title of the poem and the poem itself and DOG. Can somebody help me please?
