Hi all, hope someone can help me with this - I've been playing with regex's and extracting matching text, with some success

However, I'm having a problem with multi-line regex's. I've got the following text 

<P>
THE GENERAL SYNOPSIS AT 0100<BR>
LOW SOUTH FITZROY 1000 MOVING SLOWLY NORTH AND FILLING 1006 BY 0100<BR>
TOMORROW. NEW LOW EXPECTED 50 MILES WEST OF TRAFALGAR 1007 BY SAME<BR>
TIME. HIGH 100 MILES WEST OF ROCKALL 1023 SLOW MOVING AND DECLINING<BR>
1021 BY THAT TIME<BR>
<P>
THE AREA FORECASTS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS<BR>
(which some of you may recognise as part of the UK shipping forecast)

and I'm trying to extract it so $1 contains the 0100 and $2 contains 

LOW SOUTH FITZROY 1000 MOVING SLOWLY NORTH AND FILLING 1006 BY 0100<BR>
TOMORROW. NEW LOW EXPECTED 50 MILES WEST OF TRAFALGAR 1007 BY SAME<BR>
TIME. HIGH 100 MILES WEST OF ROCKALL 1023 SLOW MOVING AND DECLINING<BR>
1021 BY THAT TIME<BR>

I've put together this:

  $_ = $response->content;
  m/GENERAL SYNOPSIS AT ([0-9]{4})<BR>\n(^.*<BR>\n)+<P>/mi;
  print "===> ".$1."  ".$2."\n";

which gives me 

===> 0100  1021 BY THAT TIME<BR>

[download]
so I'm capturing $1 ok, but I can't work out how to get the $2 to capture multi-line text.

Can anyone help me out here?
(and please feel free to tell me if I can optimise the regex at all)
