while () {
# do something with $_;

You can do:
@lines = split /\n/, $data;
or you can download the IO::String module from

while () is NOT the same as while($variable) {unless $variable is a
filehandle}
If working with a filehandle, the while will loop until no data is left.
With a string, it will just keep looping while true (data i
