Well, if you know the length of the # of pairs then I'm assuming you could figure out the easy answer, but I'm guessing you're looking at a dynamic field length.

For something dynamic... i would look at the dos2unix docs to see what the tool is removing to make it unix compat (guessing u've been there though).

Outside of all that, I would be inclined to try something like: 
while (my $line = <INFILE>) {
    $line =~ s/\n$//;
    while ($line =~ s/(\w+)\/(\w+)//) { #the {\cM} should create a wor
+d boundry since it's not alpha numeric
        print "key: $1\nvalue: $2\n";
    }
}

if you're looking at something where the line feeds are not showing up at all (so that the whole file is read in as one line....), I'm not 100% sure. I'll think about it, but have not run accross that particular scenario yet.
