You could use the following (coarse, not fully tested, yada yada yada) approach: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

my $data;
{
  local $/ = undef;
  $data = <DATA>;
}

print "Record: [$1]\n" 
  while ( $data =~ /(Field 1:.*?Field 3:[^\n]+)/sg );

__DATA__
Field 1:  abc
Field 2:  asdasdasdf
Field 2:  asdsaads
Field 2:  asdf
Field 3:  asfssadfsad
Field 1:  abc
Field 2:  asdf
Field 3:  asfssadfsad
Field 1:  abc

Which outputs: 
Record: [Field 1:  abc
Field 2:  asdasdasdf
Field 2:  asdsaads
Field 2:  asdf
Field 3:  asfssadfsad]
Record: [Field 1:  abc
Field 2:  asdf
Field 3:  asfssadfsad]
Record: [Field 1:  abc
Field 2:  asdasdasdf2
Field 2:  asdf3
Field 3:  asfssadfsad]
