I got your expression to work on your test data with a couple of small changes, but if you have a huge file full of that stuff, you probably want something a little different. In particular, you want to keep .* from matching more than one record at once. Here's what I came up with:

use strict; use warnings; $_ = <<'END_SIP_LOG'; From: "Bungalo Bill" <sip:5555555555@11.11.11.111:22>;tag=SD223sd2-312 +33dss^M To: <sip:6666666666@11.11.11.111:22>^M Call-ID: SD0e1af02-4d8d3eesdfsdfsd44w5f6fdb77814d-h6030fd^M END_SIP_LOG ; s/\^M/\r/g; my $NAME = 'Bungalo Bill'; my $INBOUND_NUMBER = '6666666666'; #my ($callid) = /From.*$NAME.*$INBOUND_NUMBER.*Call-ID:\s(.*)/s; my ($callid) = m{ From: \s "\Q$NAME\E" .*? \r \n? To: \s <sip: \Q$INBOUND_NUMBER\E \@ .*? \r \n? Call-ID: \s (\S+) .*? \r \n? }xms; print "callid = '$callid'\n"; __END__ callid = 'SD0e1af02-4d8d3eesdfsdfsd44w5f6fdb77814d-h6030fd'

I'm not sure if you have straight \r as line endings or the more likely \r\n, so the pattern matches either one.

Updated to format the pattern prettier.
