Regex Issue

bluesplay106 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I have a big text file that follows this pattern :

==========
Name: blah
ID: 2
==========
[download]

and this repeats multiple times in the text file. I want to regex anything between the "=======" but only such that ID is say 3. I tried the following :

while($regex =~ /=====.+?ID: 3.+?=====/igs) {
     print "$&\n";
}
[download]

I want the output to look like :

=========
Name: Hi
ID: 3
=========
[download]

But I end up with the whole text file or at least it might be grabbing anything before ID: 3 and after the first "======", but I can't tell since the output is so large. I think that's what it might be doing. Also, what if there are more than one instance of ID: 3? Is there anyways I can print all those instances without printing the whole file? Can anyone help me?
