hi, thanks for your reply, i tired the codes that you gave but for some reason, im getting no result.. what seems to be the problem.. heres the whole command: 
$_"Tim created the Module List in August 1994 and maintained it manual
+ly till April 1996. By that time Andreas had implemented the Perl Aut
+hors Upload Server (PAUSE) and it was happily feeding modules through
+ to the CPAN archive sites. Since PAUSE held a database of module inf
+ormation which could be maintained by module authors it made sense fo
+r the module listing part of the Module List to be built from that da
+tabase. In April 1996 Andreas took over the automatic posting of the 
+Module List and I now maintain the other parts of the text. We plan t
+o add value to the automation over time."

{
    local $_;
    while (<>) {
        /it (.*)[.?,]$/i and print $1, $/;
    }
}
