I asked a similar question a few months ago, and a perl god, gamer,
and hiker responded with the following:

#Learn about
#
#    perl -00
#
#and the
#
#    s/foo/bar/s
#    s/foo/bar/m
#    s/foo/bar/sm
#
#flags.

Works great, although I think perl -0777 worked better for me.  As
far as I can tell, the latter three flags only work in perl 5.
