Well, I'm not entirely sure about the nature of your text. If it is in a file, one name to each line like you say it is (well you say that they basically are):
Bob Builder
Tinky Winky
etc.
then you can simply open the file and read it into an array like this:
my @names = <FH>
If they are all on one line like your example, it is a bit trickier. But, since this seems like it might be a homework problem, I'll have you figure it out.
Update
Well, I guess I misread your original post. You left out the
to in
got to put them on separate lines. Don't mind me.
