that is exactly how it works in perl (and I got the answer to
your bug from my Perl book...)

Why is this bug bogus?  Isn't it a valid bug when something doesn't Work As Advertised or
doesn't Work As Expected?  If these are really perl-compatible regexp functions, this is a
real, valid bug.

add an "s" to the end of your reg exp.

                                           
if (preg_match('/Here(.*)$/s',$someline,$matches)){
                                         ^
                                         
this mean "treat everything as one line" and it will parse the
newline.

This is not a core dump, but rather an output problem with preg_match.  Here is a short script:

$someline = "Here is some line.\n";
if ( preg_match('/Here(.*)$/',$someline,$matches) ) {
  $out = $matches[1];
}

print "<pre>[$out]</pre>";

$out now contains no newline when this clearly should be included!
