in reply to Help with Regex

Try this
1. Use ungreedy (.*?)
2. Treat the whole string as one line. use /s 
my ($new_source) = $source =~ /<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="guts" 
+-->(.*?)<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->/s;

instead of 
my ($new_source) = $source =~ /<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="guts" 
+-->(.*)<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->/;
