check if this works for you:
Code:
{
    local $/;  # reset the input record separator
    $all_lines = <INPUT_FILE>;  # Slurp the whole file in a string
}
while ($all_lines =~ m/LENGTH:(.*?)(SUBJECT|COMMENT)/g) {
    push (@length_array, $1);
}
while ($all_lines =~ m/SUBJECT:(.*?)(LENGTH|COMMENT)/g) {
    push (@subject_array, $1);
}
while ($all_lines =~ m/COMMENT:(.*?)(LENGTH|SUBJECT)/g) {
    push (@comment_array, $1);
}

idea is to slurp the file in a string instead of in an array, and then take out the required strings from it using regex
