2 things - Perl should handle the \r\n part for you - \n is normally a
match for whatever your OS's end of line marker is. You also don't need

Well Community,
The string that I thought was using carriage return/line feeds actually does
not have any in them.
(I had copied the message string from within an HTM file, and by pasting it,
the lines broke up accordingly. Naturally, that led me to believe there were
CR/LFs in the
Parsing English is hard ;- but if you're fairly confident of the
formatting, you can try and add in a marker and then split on that:
$msg =~ s/((?:JAN|FEB|...|OCT|NOV|DEC)\s\d+\s\-)/|#|$1/g;
@ans = grep { /\w/ } split('\|#\|', $msg);
