i have a simple file :

hello world0
hello world1
hello world2
AAAAAA
this is a test of the
emergency broadcast system
BBBBBB
hello world0
hello world1
hello world2
AAAAAA
if this had been a real 
emergency more instructions 
would have followed
BBBBBB
hello world0
hello world1
hello world2

i am trying to grab the text (running through various lines) within "AAAAAA" and "BBBBBB" i am using the following code:

undef $/;# read in whole file, not just one line or paragraph
while ( <> ) {
   while ( /AAAAAA(.*?)BBBBBB/sgm ) { 
   print "$1\n";
   }
}
[download]

this will only print the first "this is a test of the emergency broadcast system" and not the second one ... there will be several chunks and i would like to print them all out (or save them in an array i can manipulate later) ... how do i do this ???
