Do you really need to split the paragraph into lines? You can match a multiline string against a regex, too:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; $/ = "\n\n"; while (<>) { my @result; if ( /objectClass:\s+account/ and /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/ and my ($prods) = /ifastProducts:\s+(.+?)\s*$/mg # The /m is +important here. and my ($user) = /dn: uid=(\w+?),./g) { push @result, $prods, $user; print join '|', @result; print "\n"; } }

But if you need the array, you can have it. The , $_) part of your code does nothing, so remove it. Here is my attempt to do what you need:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; $/ = "\n\n"; while (<>) { my @result; my @lines = split /\n/; if ( ( grep /objectClass:\s+account/, @lines) and (grep /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/, @lines) and (my ($prods) = map /ifastProducts:\s+(.+?)\s*$/g, @lines) and (my ($user) = map /dn: uid=(\w+?),.+/g, @lines +)) { push @result, $prods, $user; print join '|', @result; print "\n"; } }
