This is an interesting solution, however... I might have some use cases where this will fail, for example if SOURCES = ... happens to be the very last block in the file (i.e. there IS no next marker, other than EOF).
Or, if the next marker is also one I might want to grab in a different pass, but I don't know the order of them to know what order to put the /BEGIN/ and /END/ range markers in.
I'll hit this with a few broad examples and see if it works when I intentionally try to break it with different constructs.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
