You're confusing this with

  while (<FH>) {
    # do something with $_;
  }

You can do:

  @lines = split /\n/, $data;

or you can download the IO::String module from CPAN
(http://search.cpan.org/):

  use IO::String;

  my $str_fh = IO::String->new($data);

  while (<$str_fh>) {
    push @lines, $_;
  }
