It's hard to be certain exactly what you're
looking for, I'm going to assume that you are
looking for a specific keyword and that the text
following is fairly free form.
my $keyword = "BASKET";
$data =~ /^($keyword\n\n.+)$/m;
This looks for the keyword followed by two
newlines, and whatever else is on that line. It
will not match if the line following the two
newlines is blank. The m at the end of the
pattern specifies multi-line matching i.e. the $
will match before any newline, not just at the end
of the string.
This answer assumes that $data contains all of
the text you are trying to search, not just a
single line.

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).
