@s in Regular Expression

[Mark Anderson]

I have some data that is broken up by @s, stored in a string $str.  I'm
using the following code:

                if ($str =~ /@A(.*?)@B(.*?)@C(.*?)@D(.*?)@E(.*?)@F(.*?)@END/s) {
                        $var1 = $1; $var2 = $2; ...
                } else {
                        print "Error message";
                }

And it's stuffing most of $str into a single $varX, and I'm not finding the
rest of $str.  Do I need to be escaping my @'s in my regular expression?

                        Thanks,
                                /\/\ark
