something like:
if ( $line =~ m/$louter(.*)$router/xo ) {
push(@array_oh_array,[ split(/ /, $_)]) for (split(/$inner/, $1));
}
which is the 'flat-ish' liner for what we do below, but
It is bordering on the unparsable.

sorta depends on what you really want to do here....
based upon your regEx I presume you are getting that back in
a scalar variable - and I'm not sold on the following but it
may help you work the longer more flexible approach to turning
that singular scalar into an array of arrays.
