Even though you are getting the entire file in a variable, the best is to treat it as if an ordinary file and read the file line-by-line and then split the fields as usual.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $url = 'http://en19.tribalwars.net/map/tribe.txt';
use LWP::Simple;
my $content = get $url;
my @uid;
open(DAT, "<", \$content) or die $!;
while ($line = <DAT>) {
	push(@uid, [split(/,/, $line)]->[1]);
}
close DAT;

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\@uid);
