in reply to Splitting multiline scalars into different array entries

I'm not 100% sure what you need, but assuming you need what I think you need .. :) .., replacing your loop with this works: 
foreach my $row (@AoA) {
  my @foo = map { split /\n/ } @$row;

  for( my $i = 0; $i < $#foo; $i += $width ) {
    push @new_rows, [ @foo[ $i .. -1 + $i + $width ] ];
  }
}

This outputs: 

$VAR1 = [
          [
            'single',
            'cell',
            'values'
          ],
          [
            'are',
            'really',
            'easy'
          ],
          [
            'but',
            'multiline',
            'stilton'
          ],
          [
            'these',
            'cells',
            'is'
          ],
          [
            'aren\'t',
            'suck',
            'great'
          ],
          [
            'back',
            'to',
            'life'
          ],
          [
            'back',
            'to',
            'reality'
          ],
          [
            'with',
            'more',

          ]
