Use the 's' option at the end of your regex after the closing '/'. $var =~ /match\nsomething\nelse/s; read 'perldoc perlre' for more about regexes. Also, please reply to the list next time, because I might not be at my desk or able to reply, and someone else probably will.

I removed the /r/n from the reg-ex and it works. I have another question. How to assign a multiline string or string having many lines(strings having \n) to a $string-variable?. In C, there is a "\" operator. Thanks for your help, Balaji
