I am trying to isolate information between two patterns to both capture the information between (here, the case name) and count the instances a particular word (here, the word Education but I would also like to count the number of words in general).

From your description, I didn't really understand what you tried to accomplish (this may be a language problem for me). I understood - you want to count different things from different paragraphs. Im not sure what to use here, maybe sth. like a parser or just simple counting. I tried to put this (what I understood) in a small example below:

 ...
 my ($casename, $count, $wordcount) = ('', 0, 0);

 $/ = '';     # paragraph mode
 open my $fh, '<', 'data.txt' or die "can't open, $!";
 while( <$fh> ) {
    REPEAT: {
      # Play parser
      /\G^\d+\s+of\s+\d+\s+DOCUMENTS$/gc && do { redo; }; # enter acti
+on here
      /\G^No\.\s+(\w+)$/gc && do { $casename = $1; redo; };
    }
    # simply count stuff
    $count     += () = /EDUCATION/g;
    $wordcount += () = /\w+/g
 }
 close $fh;
 print "Case Name: $casename\n";
 print "Education: $count\n";
 print "Words: $wordcount\n";
 ...

The /gc regex parser thing is somehow explained in Perlfaq6.
