Help with multiple matches

jrasillo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Formerly titled "I need help ASAP!"

I'm doing pattern matching through an array, and it seems to work fine the first time it finds the pattern, but if it keeps on trying to find it for second time it fails...
Here's the code

chomp $_myfile[$i];#name of my array
if ($_myfile[$i] =~ /Content-Transfer-Encoding: (.*)/)
{$encoding = $1;}
if ($encoding eq "quoted-printable")
{do whatever}
[download]

The first time my code runs it matches against Content-Transfer-Encoding just fine, and $encoding gets the stuff after the colon, but the second time it runs $encoding gets nothing...

can anyone help me?

The purpose is getting quoted printable out of that line...

Don't parse HTTP by hand, use something like HTTP::Daemon ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]

The first thing you need help with is in writing a short, meaningful title to your submission. That way, when scannng through the list of new entries, other monks can quickly see if they can assist you.	[reply]
