Processing only certain sections of a file

[Craig Cardimon]

I have this logic to follow:
while(<FILE>)
{
        if(/START/ .. /END/)
        {
                # process line
        }
}
I found this logic in an article 
(http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/18/variables.html) on Perl's Special 
Variables at Perl.com.

I want to try modifying the logic to process a file that has been 
slurped into a string variable, like so:

while($wholefile)
{
        if(<TEXT>/ .. /<\/TEXT>/)
        {
                # process line
        }
}
I think I'm being stupid here (it's close to the end of the business 
day), because the Perl Command Line Interpreter has scolded my various 
attempts. Any suggestions?
