Hi,

I'm grepping with Perl, but want to stop after the first match.

My input file contains several identical 2-line strings like this (scattered amongst other data):

  # /proc/cpuinfo
  vendor_id       : IBM/S390
[download]

This is what I have so far:

  m#cpuinfo\nvendor_id\s+:\s(.*?)\n# and
  print "CPU:\t$1";
[download]

That returns:

  CPU:    IBM/S390
  CPU:    IBM/S390
  CPU:    IBM/S390
[download]

How can I tell it to stop searching after the first match?

Thanks.
