This is as close to your desired output as I can achieve.

#! perl -slw use strict; ( my $data = do{ local $/; <DATA> } )=~ s[\n\+][]g; print "'$1'" while $data =~ m[ ( .+? ## Capture everything (minimally) (?: [.!?] \s+ ## A terminator followed by whitespac +e | [a-z] ## or a lowercase letter ) ) (?= [A-Z] | \z ) ## followed by a an uppercase letter +or EOS ]xg; __DATA__ The Tell-Tale HeartEdgar Allen PoeTRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully + nervous I + had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad?

c:\test>junk5 'The Tell-Tale Heart' 'Edgar Allen Poe' 'TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but w +hy WILL you say that I am mad? ' 'The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. +' 'Above all was the sense of hearing acute. ' 'I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. ' 'I heard many things in hell. ' 'How then am I mad? ' 'Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the wh +ole story. '

Which doesn't quite match, but then I do not see how (or more importantly why?) you differenciate between splitting after the question mark here I am mad? The disease but decide not to here How then am I mad? Hearken!?


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
