As far as I can see my solution does what you describe:
There aren't any hidden/funny characters in the input files are there? Check with cat -vet.
man perlrun is the page you really need to look at for the command-line options. -p and -i are separate options that I combined for the sake of brevity.
-p makes perl behave like awk, including supporting a BEGIN clause before processing any input. In that clause I've redefined the input record separator to be an empty string... this means that perl "slurps" the entire input file in one go rather than reading it line-by-line, which allows us to do regex matches against multiple lines. It is separate from the actual s/// command to do the search and replace.
s/// is documented on the man perlop page.
I'm glad to see you don't just want spoonfeeding (all too common around here!).
