Thanks. Well, I have done that in my php version of the same code but heard that perl is really strong when it comes to regex so wanted to try out something new. Actually the problem is something like this:

Code:
LENGTH: ......................................................
..................................................................
..................................................................

...................................................................
..................................................................

SUBJECT: .......................................................

COMMENT: .....................................................
....................................................................

As you can observe, the data that I want is not limited to one line but rather spans multiple lines. Do you have any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
