UPDATE: Solved! Thanks, BioLion!

Brothers and sisters, I have slurped into a multiline scalar named $tocfile the following text, which I want to mangle:

CD_DA

CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE_MAP {
    0: 9
  }
  LANGUAGE 0 {
    TITLE "Multi-01"
    PERFORMER ""
    SIZE_INFO { 1,  1, 19,  0,  3,  2,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,
                0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  3,  7,  0,  0,  0,
                0,  0,  0,  0,  9,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0}
  }
}

// Track 1

I want to keep the first and last lines with two newlines between them, and I want to delete the section beginning "CD_TEXT". Here's my regex:

$tocfile =~ s/CD_TEXT.+(\/\/ Track)/$1/m;

With it, I'm trying to replace everything starting with 'CD_TEXT' to '// Track" with '// Track', but it isn't working. Can someone please illuminate me as to why it is not, or suggest an alternate approach?

Humble thanks,
Matt
