I have a large file that I am looking to parse data out of. The file is a compilation of recorded data split up into 25 lines of code per block and there are thousands of these blocks in the file. Im looking for a good way to split up this file into equal sized arrays. The data looks like this: 
START DATA
3 0.0 0 3 5 6 7 
0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 0 0
1 3 4 5 4 4 5 6 7 7 7 
3 4 3 4 5 6 4 5 6  
....
END DATA

The lines inside of the blocks are not always equal in length nor always integers or positive numbers, but always the same number of lines between START/END
Optimally, what I would like is an array of this block and each line of this block in its own array so I can parse the elements out of the block that I need for a csv for a scatter plot graph. So really, what I would want is something like this: 
@arrayblock = [
@line1[],
@line2[],
@line3[],
etc...
]

But my perl knowledge isnt that great so Im stuck for ideas on how to get to this point. Any help would be appreciated
