How could I gather the variables from a multi-part if with RegEx's , or do I need to break it down into separate parts?

while(<IFILE>) {
   if ((@LINE =~ /#\s+(\w+)\s+(\d+).+/) && (@LINE =~ /!\s+(\w+)\s+(\d+
+).+/)) {
      $Word=$1;
      $TimeStamp=$2;
      $Word2=$3;
      $TimeStamp2=$4;
      print "X $Word X $TimeStamp X $Word2 X $TimeStamp2 x";
   }
}

Thanx, all help much appreciated.

The suggestion by choroba seems to work, and is part of the solution, but I can't seem to get it working with more than one instance of it in the same if statement: Works:

undef $/;
$/="\n\n";

while(<IFILE>) {
   my @RESULT=();
   my @LINES=split (/\n/, $_);
   if ((grep  /objectClass:\s+account/, @LINES)
    && (grep  /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/, @LINES)
    #&& (my ( $PRODS ) = /ifastProducts:\s+(.+)\s*$/, $_)
    && (my ( $USER ) = /dn: uid=(\w+?),.+/, $_)) {
      push(@RESULT, $USER);
      #push(@RESULT, $PRODS, $USER);
      print join "|", @RESULT;
      #print OFILE join "|", @RESULT;
      #print OFILE "\n";
      print "\n";
   }
}

But this does not:

undef $/;
$/="\n\n";

while(<IFILE>) {
   my @RESULT=();
   my @LINES=split (/\n/, $_);
   if ((grep  /objectClass:\s+account/, @LINES)
    && (grep  /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/, @LINES)
    && (my ( $PRODS ) = /ifastProducts:\s+(.+)\s*$/, $_)
    && (my ( $USER ) = /dn: uid=(\w+?),.+/, $_)) {
      #push(@RESULT, $USER);
      push(@RESULT, $PRODS, $USER);
      print join "|", @RESULT;
      #print OFILE join "|", @RESULT;
      #print OFILE "\n";
      print "\n";
   }
}

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.
