They're virtually identical

Except that my pattern matching is (slightly) different.

As I said, I don’t know why the original code wasn’t working (except for the off-by-one error). At best, the use of \r\n in the pattern match may be a red herring, in which case it will be useful to “eliminate it from our inquiries” (I read too many whodunnits). At worst, it may be introducing some bug which live4tech will find is fixed in my version.

It will be interesting to find out.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
