Hiya. This is what I want to do:
I want to write a Perl script that takes web site alphanumeric submissions. For each alphanumeric submission, I want the script to separate the initial alphanumeric submission into strings that:
-When combined, they equal the initial alphanumeric submission
-Do not exceed 100 characters per string.
For example, consider the following: 
$initial = "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwerty
+uiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcv
+bnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdf
+ghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm";

$initial has 234 characters. I would like to write a script that chops up $initial into the following: 
$chop1 = "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyui
+opasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxc"; # (contains first 100 char
+acters)
$chop2 = "vbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwer
+tyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjk"; # (contains second 100 cha
+racters)
$chop3 = "lzxcvbnmqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm"; # (contains remaining 3
+4 characters)

[download]

such that $initial = "$chop1$chop2$chop3";

Then, I would like the amount of emails as there are chops. For example, since there were three divisions of $initial, I would want to send each division in a private email (three emails would be total since there are three divisions in existance). I was thinking about doing something that implements foreach. The only problem is that I don't know how to incorporate the divisions into an array.

Help would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
