now I tried changing $/ to "domain.com" and it's a little closer. Actually _almost_ there:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$file = shift;

open(LOG, $file) or die "Couldn't open $file: $!\n";
local $/ = "cisco.com\n";
while (<LOG>) {
        print "================BLAH================\n$_\n";
}

close(LOG);

Resulting output:

abc1-wl-wlc1.domain.com

================BLAH================

The correct hostname needs to be in between the blah's - right now BLAH comes right after the correct hostname for the section :/
