perl should have given me an error/warning because the s modifier isn't applicable to -p.
Anyway, here's what I tried, but this time I get nothing outputted:

Code:
perl -e -0777 "s/func_a\((.*)?\);/func_b(\1,\n6)/s" < file |more

and

Code:
perl -e "BEGIN {$/=undef} s/func_a\((.*)?\);/func_b(\1,\n6)/s"
