The problem is that you're not doing the search correctly.
<p>
You wrote:
<code>
s#<--/--a8300-->.*?<--/a8300-->.##isg $_;
</code>
but the correct syntax is just
<code>
s#<--/--a8300-->.*?<--/a8300-->.##isg;
</code>
without the trailing ' $_' - the syntax of s/// is actually
<code>
$string=~s/from/to/opts;
</code>
with the $string being acted on defaulting to $_. Putting $_ after the expression makes no sense to perl...
