what does ".*?" mean? .* is any character zero or multiple times and

In PCRE the ? makes the .* not greedy. I just assumed that was supported in rex as well. The string I'm parsing is XML, so I just need to figure out how to make rex.match use multiline searches. In Perl you use the /m flag, what's the equivalent in Lua?
