Re^2: Spliting a log file into chunks and saving it into an array

This will work, but a word of advice from someone bitten by it before: save off that $/ variable first!

#! c:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use strict;
$tmp_eol=$/;
undef $/;
.

That way, when you are done splitting the chunks, you can take each array element and split them along $/ as you normally would do so.
