Here is what I am trying to do . Basically , I am using a list slice to extract few elements from the O/P and I wanted to assign the result to a variable within the same Open While File Handle so that I can use the result for other purpose . I am splitting the data with : and \s as delimiter and extracting few elements of the resulting array . When I use the assignment , It cannot print the value of the variables . 
if (/^array|^unassigned/){
        print "$row\n" if $inarray;
        $row=$_;
        my (undef, $unit, undef, undef , undef, undef , undef, $port, 
+undef, undef, undef, undef, undef,undef) = split /[\s,:]+/, $row;
        $inarray=m/^array/;
        next;   
    }
    next unless $inarray;
    $row .= " $_";
}
        close $fd;
