Use '?' to get a nongreedy match up to the first newline:
$data =~ m/Line3 : (.*?)\n/s;
You can also use a greedy match with a negated character class:
$data =~ m/Line3 : ([^\n]*)/s;
My test code follows:
use warnings;
use strict;
my $data = join( '', <DATA> );
print "[$data]\n\n";
$data =~ m/Line3 : (.*?)\n/s or die;
print "match: [$1]\n";
$data =~ m/Line3 : ([^\n]*)/s or die;
print "match: [$1]\n";
__DATA__
Line1 : Dit is de eerste regel
Line2 : Dit is de tweede regel
Line3 : Dit is de derde regel
Line4 : Dit is de vierde regel

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).
