Embedded newlines will not be matched by "^" or "$". You may, however, wish to treat a string as a multi-line buffer, such that the "^" will match after any -newline within the string, and "$" will match before any newline. At the +newline within the string (except if the newline is the last character in +the string), and "$" will match before any newline. At the cost of a little more overhead, you can do this by using the /m modifier on the pattern match operator. (Older programs did this by setting C<$*>, but this practice has been removed in perl 5.9.) |
