When I try MadeInGermany's code, I get an extraneous " at the end of the file and the resulting file is not a text file (since it is missing a trailing <newline> character after the extraneous ").
One possible alternative is:
which uses semicolons as the field separators and replaces field separators found inside double quotes with pipe symbols. If file contains:
it produces the output:

Ex.,

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWUserpContPerl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames(3pm)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames - Don't use labels that are the same as the special block
names.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
When using one of the special Perl blocks "BEGIN", "END", "CHECK", "INIT", and "UNITCHECK", it is easy to mistakenly add a colon to the end
of the block name. E.g.:
# a BEGIN block that gets executed at compile time.
BEGIN { <...code...> }
# an ordinary labeled block that gets executed at run time.
BEGIN: { <...code...> }
The labels "BEGIN:", "END:", etc. are probably errors. This policy prohibits the special Perl block names from being used as labels.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
