you likely need the multi line switch. change this:
my ($mso) = $row[2] =~ /(MS\d\d-\d\d\d)/i;
to:
my ($mso) = $row[2] =~ /(MS\d\d-\d\d\d)/si;
The /s makes it match through multi lines.
No, no, your understanding of the /s modifier appears to be a misconception.
It changes '.' to match any character, even a newline, which normally it would not match. Since there is no '.' in the above regex, the /s modifier does not make a difference. See "perldoc perlre".
