At a wild guess, I'd say that you're probably getting the matches you
want, plus getting the "my name =" as a match. The reason is that you
didn't specify that the leading spaces before the word "name" must be at
the beginning of the line. For that, use "^". Use "perldoc perlre" to
learn more about it.
