Hello Monks, Iam having trouble in splitting below data
!A001ST!,!98!,!1!,!01/10/1999!,!EUROPEENNE!,!0!,!EUR!,!6!,!7!,!0!,!98! +,!1! !A001ST!,!AD,CD!,!1!,!20/05/2004!,!ANDORRA!,!0!,!EUR,USD!,!6!,!7!,!0!, +!AD!,!1!

i want to split the above data by comma.
but there are comma's inside ! ! which i want to retain.
pls help me in framing the split criteria. iam doing something below.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "Splitting data by comma as a delimiter \n"; while (<DATA>){ my @data = split /\,/,$_; print "Data splitted is as below \n"; print join("==>",@data),"\n"; # i will do something else with splitted data in this iteratio +n } __DATA__ !A001ST!,!98!,!1!,!01/10/1999!,!EUROPEENNE!,!0!,!EUR!,!6!,!7!,!0!,!98! +,!1! !A001ST!,!AD,CD!,!1!,!20/05/2004!,!ANDORRA!,!0!,!EUR,USD!,!6!,!7!,!0!, +!AD!,!1!

output is not what i expected.
Splitting data by comma as a delimiter Data splitted is as below !A001ST!==>!98!==>!1!==>!01/10/1999!==>!EUROPEENNE!==>!0!==>!EUR!==>!6 +!==>!7!==>!0!==>!98!==>!1! Data splitted is as below !A001ST!==>!AD==>CD!==>!1!==>!20/05/2004!==>!ANDORRA!==>!0!==>!EUR==>U +SD!==>!6!==>!7!==>!0!==>!AD!==>!1!

as you can see above !AD==>CD! are also splitted.
i needed as below
!A001ST!==>!AD,CD!==> and so on
