Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanks Madhan, Anbu & shellLife, it was helpful.. finally i used the below to get it right...

open(INFO, "$file") or die "an error occured: $!";
while (<INFO>) {
chomp;
my @lines = split(' ', $_, 3);
$NAME = $lines[0];
$REVISION = $lines[1];
$INFO = $lines[2];

we can limit the number of sections the string's will be split into, by passing a third argument. For example, we're splitting our data into 3 fields, though we have many more than 3 occurrances of the delimiter.

got the output as>
