If you have: This is a nasty, multilined chunk of text and you want to get everything between ',' and 'of' you would do =~ m/,(.*?)of/s which finds the first occurence of ',' takes every character (.) including newlines (s modifier at the end) until it sees the first 'of' (made non-greedy by ?) and will return everything in $1 (capturing set of ()s ).
