I am trying to parse some information from a SSL cert into some variables and would like each line in its own element. Here is my cert data: 

Certificate:
    Data:
        Version: 3 (0x2)
        Serial Number: 3235 (0xca3)
        Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption
        Issuer: C=US, O=GTE Corporation, CN=GTE CyberTrust Root
        Validity
            Not Before: Oct 22 17:02:00 2002 GMT
            Not After : Oct 22 23:59:00 2003 GMT
        Subject: C=US, ST=XXXX, L=XXXXX, O=XXXX Inc., OU=Security, CN=
+XXXXXXX.com/emailAddress=XXXX@XXXX.com
        Subject Public Key Info:
            Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption
            RSA Public Key: (1024 bit)
                Modulus (1024 bit):
                    ...KEY...
                Exponent: 65537 (0x10001)
        X509v3 extensions:
            X509v3 Basic Constraints: 
                CA:FALSE
            X509v3 Key Usage: 
                Key Encipherment
            X509v3 Certificate Policies: 
                Policy: 1.2.840.113763.1.2.1.4
                  CPS: http://www.XXXXXX.com/XXX/XXX.html

    Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption
            ...KEY...
subject= /C=US/ST=XXXX/L=XXXXX/O=XXXXX Inc./OU=Security/CN=XXXXX
issuer= /C=US/O=GTE Corporation/CN=GTE CyberTrust Root

So anyway, here is what I have: 


     my $SSL = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/bin/openssl";
     local (*FH);
     open (FH, "$SSL x509 -inform PEM -text -noout -subject -issuer -i
+n /tmp/expiredcert.crt 2>/dev/null |")
        or return;
        my ($var1, $var2) = 0;
    while (<FH>) {
        my @args = split(/[\n\r\l]*/);
        $var1 = $args[1];
        $var2 = $args[2];
}
close FH;
print " $var1 \n $var2 \n";

Eventually, I want to get the X509v3 Data out of this cert into $varX to put elsewhere.

This was just my starting point to see if this would work. How do I get the split() to split each element on the end of line? This isnt working the way I anticipated, My output is
