hello thank you for your reply, yes i want to split it that up into three sentences and print "starts with foo." then "goes to bar." then "." each on a separate output line. And the file is hard coded. Am i doing it right? i still dont have any results..

so far my code is : 

$_"Tim created the Module List in August 1994 and maintained it manual
+ly till April 1996. By that time Andreas had implemented the Perl Aut
+hors Upload Server (PAUSE) and it was happily feeding modules through
+ to the CPAN archive sites. Since PAUSE held a database of module inf
+ormation which could be maintained by module authors it made sense fo
+r the module listing part of the Module List to be built from that da
+tabase. In April 1996 Andreas took over the automatic posting of the 
+Module List and I now maintain the other parts of the text. We plan t
+o add value to the automation over time."  

use strict;

 /\bit (.*)[.?!]$/i and print $1,$/;
