You might also want to think about setting $/ = "" rather than $/ = "\n\n".
Using "" will define the line separator as one *or more* blank lines, while
"\n\n" will match only a single one (so for example if there are three
consecutive \n's the third will be assigned to the next paragraph). See
per
$/ is the var for this, so you should say:
$/="\n\n";
have a nice day.

i'd like to define a new line separator as a simple blank line. i have
tried \n\n and even tried ^$ in the way of a regex, but to no avail. is
there a metacharacter specific to this?
