Just two things:
1) perldoc -f split
2) man perlfunc
Perl typically excels at text processing. You can also look at the
'join' command if you wish. But certainly 'man perlfunc' along with
'perldoc -f $function_name' will let you go far with your scripts. :)
Another option would be to use the 's' operator (man perlop) to change
all newlines to spaces.
eg: $sometext =~ s/\n/ /g
You'd probably want to add a newline to end if you do this.
