Re: Searching string for paragraph..

Have you tried the multiple-line modifier (m at the end of the regex)? See the entry in the PerlFAQ (part 6).

if(Dumper($page) =~ m/Daniel(.*?)world/m) { print $1; }

Update: moritz is right ... use s instead of m!

Although I don't understand the original question (mabye due to bad formatting?) I can tell that the `/m` modifier on your regex doesn't do anything - it merely affects `^` and `$` to match line start/ending (instead of string start/ending). You probably meant the /s modifier instead, which makes `.` also match a newline.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
