Looks like your input file is a CSV (comma separated variable) file so you should use an appropriate CVS module to dot he heavy lifting for you. Text::CSV is a good starting point. Consider:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV;
my $filename = 'infos.txt';
open my $fOut, '>', $filename or die "Can't create $filename: $!";
print $fOut <<TEST;
Mawts 25,female,melbourne
Awts 24,male,sydney
TEST
close $fOut;
my $parser = Text::CSV->new();
open my $fIn, '<', $filename or die "Can't open $filename: $!";
while (my $row = $parser->getline($fIn)) {
my ($name, $age) = $row->[0] =~ /(.*)\s(\d+)/;
print "Name: $name\n";
print "Age: $age\n";
print "Gender: $row->[1]\n";
print "Address: $row->[2]\n\n";
}
close $fIn;
Prints:
Name: Mawts
Age: 25
Gender: female
Address: melbourne
Name: Awts
Age: 24
Gender: male
Address: sydney

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
