Remove Multiline comments which comes after executable code

Question

I have a example.c file with some codes and comment lines, In that file, I have a comment line for ex:

static Bool Start = FALSE;/*  $n=Start$ $t=static Bool$ $i=FALSE$
                              $d=initialize start to false$ */

I am using perl to remove comment lines, i tried Regular Expressions to remove the comment lines.

I have tried the following code , but it is not working,

`open(F,"<","example.c") or die "Could not open the .c file ";
 {
 $MultilineComment0 = 0;
 while(my $matchLine = <F>)
{
if (($matchLine =~ s/^.*\/\*.*/) && ($matchLine !~ m/\*\/$/)) # matches Code         + Multi Comment line Ex: Variable Declaration statements
{
 $MultilineComment0 = 1;
 next;                  #removes comment part from excutable lines
}
if ($MultilineComment0 == 1)
{
   if ($matchLine =~ m/\*\/$/)
{
$MultilineComment0 = 0;
}
next;
}
push(@executable_code_only, $matchLine);
}
}
close(F);
open(F, ">",example.c");
 print F ("@executable_code_only");
close(F);`

I will be helpful if someone provide me a regular expression to remove these comment lines.
