How can I insert text after the match with the multiline text has been performed?

The technique is actually quite simple. Basically, you're looking to do something like   $string =~ s/($pattern)/$1$stuffToAdd/g; where $pattern is something that will match across multiple lines. If you want metacharacters to match newlines, you'll need to use the /s modifier.

All this is explained in perlre, which is part of the standard on-line help that accompanies Perl. If you're using ActiveState, it's in the on-line Perl documentation that you can find via   Start | Programs | ActiveState ActivePerl | Documentation If you're on *nix, type perldoc perlre at your favorite shell prompt.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
