Something like this should do it (untested).
If the pattern '* disks' can span multiple lines then the solution is more complex. But that looks like a typical set of tokens that would be found on a single line.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $file="show_configuration.out";
open (IN, '<', $file) or die "Can't open $file: $!\n";

my $patternSeen =0;

while (<IN>)
{
   $patternSeen =1 if /\*\sdisks/; #  '* disks' has been seen
   
   next unless $patternSeen;
   
   print;
}

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.
