spliting array into records with a word-delimiter	Can't Post

I need to split a text file into records (sub strings) when the delimiter is a word.
I can'y use the split function because it takes 1 character as the delimiter.
example:
the text file:
--------------
<BODY>
kjh kjh kjh
</BODY>
<BODY>
sadlk salkd asop
</BODY>
--------------
I want to split it to 2 strings with the delimiter </BODY>:
string 1) <BODY> kjh kjh kjh kjh
string 2) <BODY> sadlk salkd asop

how cat I do it as shortly as I can ?

Funny, my perldoc tells me that split uses a pattern and not a single character.

Code

my @bodies = split /<\/BODY>/, join '', <DATA>;
