Matching multiple lines with regexp

[lcs Mixmaster Remailer]

If I want to match two words appearing on two lines, how's it done?

dog
cat


if $match =~ /^dog . . . \n . . . cat/ . . . ????????????????????

If I want to match two words appearing on two lines, how's it done?

perldoc -q line

I'm having trouble matching over more than one line. What's wrong?

How can I pull out lines between two patterns that are themselves on
different lines?
