So, if John suggestion doesn't work as it should, then you may have to
enable slurp mode like this:
$/=undef or local $/;
So your code could read:

{
.....
$/=undef; ## or use local $/;

those are not equivilent. the first is setting $/ to undef and it will last past the block, affecting all other <> calls. the local one will set it only for the duration of this block but also for any calls made inside this block that also may do <> ops. in general neither is a good idea. use File::Slurp if you want to read whole files in. it is cleaner and also faster than setting $/ to undef.
