I agreed with olus

You can 'join' @test or while reading from the file itself you can read the whole file in single scalar variable using undef as.

open(FH,'<',$new_file) || die $!;
do {local undef $/;$test = <FH>};
close(FH);
while($test =~ /<!--\s+\d+nd table -->\s*(.*?)\s*<!--\s+\/\d+nd table 
+-->/sgi){
  $out_put = $1;
  print "$out_put\n";
}

I think this code is matching what did you expected

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
