Consider this checking out the $/ - input record separator in perlvar.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

local $/ = "\n\n";

while (<DATA>) {
    print if ( ! /^r145/ );
}

__DATA__
c114: 0245, 0456, 1545
    2555, 2444, 0344
    0444, 3434, 1434

r145: 0544, 0688, 2988
    1332, 0221, 0867
    0655, 4548, 7463
