Withoug qr//s, a dot does not match a newline.

Moreover, do not parse HTML with regular expressions. See Super Search.

    Hello, Sorry I do not understand, what do you mean qr//s? do I replace (.+?) with that? Thank you :)

      The qr part might be throwing you off. You don't need to change anything to qr; just add the s switch to the end of your regex: 
           m!...!sg;

      (qr// is just the regex quote operator; in this case it was used as a generic example of how to make a . match newlines).
