In this case, you treat /proc/pci per line. Perhaps you would like to read the file by records, like: 

  # example of a full record
  Bus 0, device 0, function 0: 
    Host bridge: Intel Unknown device (rev 3). 
      Vendor id=8086. Device id=7190. 
      Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=64. 
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6000000 [0xe6000008].

If so, you only need to make a slight modification to MZSanford code: 

use strict;
my @devices;
undef $/;
foreach (split /\n\s\s\b/, <DATA>) {
    # you now have the whole record in $_
    # do with it as you please
}
<snip>

- Good luck
