Re^3: Repeating the same command in different portions of input

Yes, splitting the 'chunk' is a good solution! However, since you've noticed the chunk lacks newlines, change:

my @values = split('\n', $chunk);

to

my @values = split /\s+/, $chunk;

• This splits on whitespace
• It uses a regex, not a string literal (also, '\n' would not be interpolated into a newline since you've used single quotes)
• Parentheses are optional
