andreif
$list =~ s/<\!\-\- ads begin \-\->.*?<\!\-\- ads end \-\->//gi;
sorry, this one:
$list =~ s/<\!\-\- ads begin \-\->.*?<\!\-\- ads end \-\->//gis;
$list =~ s/<\!\-\- ads begin \-\->.*?<\!\-\- ads end \-\->//gis;

It will not work?
The second regext works perfectly
$list =~ s/<\!\-\- ads begin \-\->.*?<\!\-\- ads end \-\->//gis;
the difference is "s" modifier - it make . to match new line symbols.

Hi mmcw, does my example work? Have you any problem with this?
