Second the motion from Deacon Eliya ...even after putting the /g back into the mix: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Modern::Perl;
# 943829

my $str = "<Master ID='foobar\nblivitz' NameUI='12345'";
if ( $str =~ /<Master ID='(.*?)' NameUI='(.*?)'/sg ) {
    say "\$1: $1";
    say "\$2: $2";
}else{
    say "WTH?"
}

Prints: 
$1: foobar
blivitz
$2: 12345

So,
  1. Have you looked rilly, rilly carefully at the source data? For example,
        Characters? Character encoding? Tabs masquerading as spaces?
        Spurious appearance as if newlines were present because of wrap-on-render?
        Anything else?
  2. Any possibility that you have a quoting problem when you tell your regex to test $text?
  3. And, precisely, where are the newlines that you think are giving your trouble?

Please, post a sample, wraped in <code>...</code> tags
