Regarding the '(?s)': Good point. I must admit, I did not recognize (obviously) that. I'm not used to it. You're right.

Regarding the "emulate the -z": Perl has a similar switch. Checkout perldoc perlrun and look for the first command switch description ;-)

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    So all I needed was "perl -n0e"

    I plan to convert this mix of shell and perl program into a full perl version but that will be another day as I have to learn quite a few more things about perl :)
