in reply to REGEX different on Linux & Win32!

I tested your snipet on Mandrake 9 without a problem. Most likely the problem is caused by something in your data. I would encourage you to post a sample of the actual data here.

One thing that might help you if you are parsing HTML would be to look into HTML::TokeParser on CPAN. It can recognize those CODE sections as well., Update: see tachyon's post below

Hope that helps

    It can recognize those CODE sections as well.

    Actually, good though HTML::TokeParser is it does not recognise them 

    $data = q`
HTML1
<% CODE1 %>
HTML2
<% CODE2 %>
HTML3
<p>foo</p>
`;

use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::TokeParser;
my $parser = HTML::TokeParser->new( \$data );
while ( my $token = $parser->get_token() ) {
    print Dumper($token) if $token->[1] =~ m/<%/;
}

__DATA__
$VAR1 = [
          'T',
          '<% CODE1 %>
HTML2
',
          ''
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          'T',
          '<% CODE2 %>
HTML3
',
          ''
        ];

      Opps, I assumed since it recognizes <? and  ?> that it would do  <% style as well. That's what I get for assuming! Though I would consider that a bug of HTML::TokeParser.

        I would not. <% doesn't mean anything special in HTML, it's just a less than sign followed by a percent sign. Since it's not an HTML token, I'd consider it a bug if HTML::TokeParser would consider it a token.
