When I need to grep in multi-line mode I use Ruby, but its modifiers
differ from Perl:
https://regular-expressions.mobi/ruby.html
/m makes the dot match newlines. Ruby indeed uses /m, whereas Perl and
many other programming languages use /s for “dot matches newlines”.
https://www.regular-expressions.info/modifiers.html
(?s) for “single line mode” makes the dot match all characters,
including line breaks. Not supported by Ruby or JavaScript.
(?m) for “multi-line mode” makes the caret and dollar match at the start
and end of each line in the subject string. In Ruby, (?m) makes the
dot match all characters, without affecting the caret and dollar which
always match at the start and end of each line in Ruby.
