Another regular expression question?

[Yvonne Murphy]

I am also very new to Perl! I need to figure out how I could skip a
block of comments in a C header file. For example, if I have something
like the following:

/* This is my block of comments.....blah
....blah.....................................................................and
lots more comments here........
and then even more here!.................... with my end of comments
indentifier on the next line!.........

*/

And then the actual code down further needs to be processed. Any help
would mean alot to a beginner like me.
Thanks
