Here is my code... 
#!/usr/bin/perl-Tw
use strict;

use Text::ParseWords;
open(DATA,"textfile.dat") || die "Cannot open datfile: $!\n";
my @data;
my $i = 0;

while (<DATA>)
{
  chomp;
  last if /^"EOS"$/;
  {
   @data = &quotewords('\s+', 0, q(DATA));
  }
   foreach (@data)
  {
   print "$i: <$_>\n";
   $i++;
  }
}

Here is textfile.dat... 
"PER"
"A1" "Desiree" "Leppala"01261907 999-99-9999
"ADR"
"A1" "264 E Dekora St NO 1" "Saukville""WI" 53080
"EOS"

What I would expect would be output that looks as follows... 
0, PER
1, A1
2, Desiree
3, Leppala
...
13, 53080
