Hello monks, I am trying to use a small perl script where I want to connect to a webpage, download the content and print it. So far so well... the thing is, I don't want to print all the content, but only the sentences that start with a ">". The data look like this:

>protein_name1
blablabla
>protein_name2
blablabla
>protein_name3
blablabla

Here is the code I have: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; 
use warnings; 
use LWP::Simple;

print "Please, enter an IPR number: ";
chomp (my $IPR_numb = <STDIN>);
my $data = get("http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=database:(type:i
+nterpro+id:IPR$IPR_numb)&format=fasta");
my (@header) = $data =~ /^>(.+)/; 
print "@header\n";

[download]
The problem is, I only get the first sentence starting with ">" and all the others are ignored. So in my example, I only get as output:

>protein_name1".

I would like to have instead:

>protein_name1
>protein_name2
>protein_name3

I don't understand why Perl stops after finding the first match of the regex and don't keep looking for it.
Thanks a lot for your help.
