    To quote the original problem:
    variable into two separate variables where one variable contains the last 15 lines of text (including any newline characters) and the other contains the rest.

    (emphasis by me). Somehow I fail to see two separate variables in your "solution".

      Granted, but you should care about trailing empty lines.

      Cheers Rolf

      UPDATE:

      for completeness ($pre,$post)=split /((?:\n.*){16}$)/,$txt
