Sorry, not even Perl can do magic. :(
You have to determine what starts and stops the pattern you're
interested in. Once that is done, with a RE to do the job. For example,
to capture the number of critical alarms to the end of text:
if( $text =~ m{ ( \d+ \s+ critical \s+ alarm .* ) }msx ){
my $alarms = $1;
# process alarms
}
If you want less than that, you must first determine what stops the
pattern matching.
