Hello, I am having troubles with running an array through a foreach loop. Let's start with the background:
I am creating an array with the following code: 

push(@userData, $user->getID(), ";",$user->getExternalID(), ";", $user
+->getExternalParentID(), ";", $user->getSid(), ";", $user->getDomain(
+), ";", $user->getLockedTimes() );

where $user->getSomething() is defined elsewhere. The above push statement may be called more than one time. But for now, let's just assume that it is only called once. When I print out the above array, I get the following (which is what I am expecting):

206;homefoldertest1238;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19

The next thing that I do is run the above array through a foreach loop to process the data in it. To do that I have the following code: 
foreach (@currentData)
    {
        my ($recordNum, $externalID, $externalParent, $ssid1, $domain1
+, $timesLocked) = split(/;/, $_);

        print @currentData;
        print "\nin the foreach loop for $recordNum\n";
    }

I was expecting the loop to run once, printing the following:
206;homefoldertest1238;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for 206


To my surprise, I recieved the following:
206;homefoldertest1238;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for 206
;homefoldertest1238;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for
homefoldertest1238;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for homefoldertest1238
;TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for
TODO;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for TODO
;F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for
F030624;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for F030624
;NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for
NAEAST;19
in the foreach loop for NAEAST
;19
in the foreach loop for
19
in the foreach loop for 19


What am I doing wrong here?! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
