You're obviously a beginner that needs to read some more documentation. This site has somewhat current documentation starting at perlman and Tutorials. The reason you are only getting the last line is because you assign the split line to the array which overwrites any previous value. Instead, use push as in 
push(@data,$_);

That way, you store all of the values along the way. Perhaps you could split later, too, otherwise you would need to learn nested/referenced data structures.
