I must be brain dead today because i cant figure this out. I want to split the __DATA__ into an array wiht the | (pipe) character but it just splits it by each character. Code 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

   while (<DATA>){
      chomp;
      next if (/Order/);
      print (" string $_ \n");
      $_ =~ s/\"//g;
      my @array = split /|/ ;
      print(" order $array[0] \n");
   }

__DATA__
"129822"|"Custom Currency"|"Living the Dream"|"400"
"129823"|"Custom Currency"|"Living the Dream"|"500"
"129824"|"Custom Currency"|"Living the Dream"|"600"
"129825"|"Custom Currency"|"Living the Dream"|"700"
"129826"|"Custom Currency"|"Living the Dream"|"800"
