[Pdx-pm] file processing - from to delimiters

I have this memory that there's some perl construct of the form
KEYWORD ( RE1 .. RE2 ) {
code;
}
where (for instance) reading a file the code will only be executed
after RE1 has been encountered and before RE2 has been encountered.
for instance
KEYWORD ( /<head>/i .. /<\/head>/i ) {
process headers for web page;
}
Am I remembering a dream or is this a feature of the language?
If it is a feature, what is the keyword?
It's not something I'm finding in `man perlsyn` or `man perlfunc`
