My perl is rusty.  I can't remember it's equivalent to ruby's "scan".

ruby -e 'gets(nil).scan(/CUSTOMER.*?\/CUSTOMER/m).each {|i| puts i if
i =~ /STATE: WA/m }' /tmp/dat

That works fine unless /tmp/dat is big.  Does your current python
implementation slurp the whole input into memory like this one-liner?
