Found this on my perl manual (perldoc perlvar):
$* was a variable that you could use to enable multiline matching.
After a deprecation cycle, its magic was removed in Perl v5.10.0.
Using it now triggers a warning: "$* is no longer supported". You
should use the "/s" and "/m" regexp modifiers instead.
Deprecated in Perl 5.
Removed in Perl v5.10.0.
