Since your lines are fixed-width, you can use
unpack:
use warnings;
use strict;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my $template = 'A3' x 20;
my @nums = unpack $template, $_;
}
__DATA__
-8-18 -9-10 -8 -7 -9-10 -9 -6 -5 -8 12 -7-10 -8 -8 -8 -8 -6
-3 2 2 -2 -8 1 -2 -5 -1 -4 -6 6 -4 -6 -5 -1 0 -8 -6 -6
3 -6 -3 -6 -2 -5 -5 -5 -4 4 -3 -2 -2 -3 -5 1 3 -7 -4 3
1 -6 -5 -6 4 -5 -6 -5 -6 3 1 -5 -3 -2 -5 -1 3 -4 -3 4
2 -8 -6 -7 -8 -8 -8 7 -8 -9 -9 -7 -8 -6 -8 -4 -7 -9 -9 -8
I added a single space to the beginning of every line so that each number would occupy 3 columns. If that is not the case with your actual input, the template just needs to be adjusted.
