Re: How do I split a file into an array using blank lines as delimiter

The secret is to change $/ to the empty string. This will put Perl into 'paragraph mode', where the input record separator is one or more blank lines. Something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @array;
{
  local $/ = '';
  @array = <DATA>;
}

print $array[0];

__END__
blah blah blah
