If your problem really is that simple, and you don't expect 'keywordy' blocks to
be nested inside other 'keywordy' blocks, then the program below will do what
you need.
It may help if you showed us some actual data so that we could get a better
insight into how it behaves.

use strict;
use warnings;
while (<DATA>) {
print if /\bkeywordy\b/ .. /\bendkeywordy\b/;
}
__DATA__
keywordx ...
keywordy identifier_a
some text
endkeywordy
keywordz identifier_a
some text
endkeywordz
endkeywordx
