Another solution, if the printing of "START" and "END" is not desired, would be to keep flipping the value of $/.

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
> open my $inFH, q{<}, \ <<EOD or die $!;
> ssdfif
> START
> Line 1
> Line 2
> END
> iufifhu
> wieuhwi
> START
> Line 3
> Line 4
> END
> wkwwef
> wefwef
> EOD
> 
> {
>     my $inWanted = 0;
>     local $/ = qq{START\n};
>     while ( not eof $inFH )
>     {
>         $_ = <$inFH>;
>         if ( $inWanted )
>         {
>             chomp;
>             print;
>             $inWanted = 0;
>             $/ = qq{START\n};
>         }
>         else
>         {
>             $inWanted = 1;
>             $/ = qq{END\n};
>         }
>     }
> }'

I hope this is of interest.

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.
