You could use an array of arrays:
# open FILE
while(<FILE>) {
# The []'s make an anonymous array, so each element
# of @lines is actually an array-ref.
push @lines, [split /\|/, $_];
}
print "Yep.\n" if $lines[0][0] eq 'foo'; # it will
HTH.
Upd: oops, fixed my array indexes. :-)
Upd2: damn, what was I thinking? Changed @lines = [...] to proper push.
Upd3: ARGH!!! Thanks for the eq catch, buckaduck. That's what I get when I try to rush a post... :-(

Seasons don't fear The Reaper.
Nor do the wind, the sun, and the rain.
We can be like they are.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
