Subject: How to pass a block of text to a code block as data?

I haven't been able to figure this out from the org-mode documents yet.
What I would like to do is have a source code block in python or perl or
something similar. to which I can pass a reference to several lines of text
that the source code block, when evaluated, would then act on. Which would
involve iterating through the data text one line at a time and writing the
output to a buffer.

The text data could be indicated by a specific headline or a named block of
some sort or maybe an internal link, I'm not particularly fussy just so
there's a mechanism to do this.

Would appreciate any guidance.
