This smells like homework? (just a reminder to the gurus, it is that
time of the year again)...
perldoc -f split
perldoc -f substr
perldoc -f unpack
Just one way....
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $long_string = "01234567" x 5;
my @strings = unpack('A8' x 5, $long_string);
print join(',', @strings) . "\n";
