If it is exactly that line in every file, and not just "the first value larger than 8" y You could just play games with the input record separator.
UPDATE: Sorry, misread question. Changed program. Note that your data set has a line that ends in "SIL" before the one you highlighted in red. If you want everything up to the SECOND line ending in "SIL" just repeat the "print" line.
{
local $/ = "SIL\n";
#open my $in, '<', $whatever or die "$!";
#open my $out, '>', $output or die "$!";
#print $out scalar <$in>;
print scalar <DATA> for 1..2;
}
