What I want is to edit my text file using perl script. I want all the lines to be in one line which start with '+' sign, and leave rest of lines as it is. So, whenever it encounters '+' sign, script should print all the lines in one single line and then removes the '+' sign.

I would appreciate any kind of help or ideas to build this script. Thank you
