I am trying to use the csplit file on a file that contains records that have more than 2048 characters on a line. The resultant split file seems to ignore the rest of the line and I lose the data.
Is there any way that csplit can handle record lengths greater than 2048?

webservice::cia::parser
WebService::CIA::Parser(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation WebService::CIA::Parser(3pm)
NAME
WebService::CIA::Parser - Parse pages from the CIA World Factbook
SYNOPSIS
use WebService::CIA::Parser;
my $parser = WebService::CIA::Parser->new;
my $data = $parser->parse($string);
DESCRIPTION
WebService::CIA::Parser takes a string of HTML and parses it. It will only give sensible output if the string is the HTML for a page whose
URL matches "https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/[a-z]{2}.html"
This parsing is somewhat fragile, since it assumes a certain page structure. It'll work just as long as the CIA don't choose to alter
their pages.
METHODS
"new"
Creates a new WebService::CIA::Parser object. It takes no arguments.
"parse($html)"
Parses a string of HTML take from the CIA World Factbook. It takes a single string as its argument and returns a hashref of fields and
values.
The values are stripped of all HTML. "<br>" tags are replaced by newlines.
It also creates four extra fields: "URL", "URL - Print", "URL - Flag", and "URL - Map" which are the URLs of the country's Factbook
page, the printable version of that page, a GIF map of the country, and a GIF flag of the country respectively.
EXAMPLE
use WebService::CIA::Parser;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);
$html = get(
"https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/uk.html"
);
$parser = WebService::CIA::Parser->new;
$data = $parser->parse($html);
print $data->{"Population"};
