Hello mrityunjaynath,

Athanasius gave you the right advice about picking the correct values off split. What you need to realize is, arrays are indexed from zero: if you have an array @myarray with 3 elements, it will have elements at: $myarray[0], $myarray[1] and $myarray[2]. Also, why are you splitting on :: when you have specified the config file to be delimited by spaces? 

$ cat pm_1132055.pl
#!perl

while(my $line = <DATA>) {
    chomp $line;
    my @words = split /\s+/, $line;
    print join(", ", @words), "\n";
    print qq{\$words[1] --> $words[1] and \$words[3] --> $words[3]}, "
+\n";
}



__DATA__
ChipId 1925 SubVersid 0001

$ perl pm_1132055.pl
ChipId, 1925, SubVersid, 0001
$words[1] --> 1925 and $words[3] --> 0001

Now, consider what you have done: 
$ cat pm_1132055.pl
#!perl

while(my $line = <DATA>) {
    chomp $line;
    my @words = split /::/, $line;
    print join(", ", @words), "\n";
    print qq{\$words[1] --> $words[1] and \$words[3] --> $words[3]}, "
+\n";
}



__DATA__
ChipId 1925 SubVersid 0001

$ perl pm_1132055.pl
ChipId 1925 SubVersid 0001
$words[1] -->  and $words[3] -->
