After posting my question, I did one more search and came up with this reply to a question: Re: multi-line regex match quest It works to a point but I get this: 
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at parse.pl line 16,
+ <$fh> line 731.

    Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at parse.pl line 16, <$fh> line 731

    A warning that tells you the variable you perform a pattern match was empty at the point given
    (line 16 in your code and line 731 in the file you're reading from.)

      I am confused then. I am getting that warning for a LOT of the lines in the text file.

        I am getting that warning for a LOT of the lines in the text file.

        For every blank line in the text file, if I'm not mistaken?
