Question

   title: Football team: Real Madrid stadium: Santiago Bernabeu players: Zinédine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raúl personnel: José Mourinho (head coach)          


        

Answer 1

The best way is to use the split command using a zero-width lookahead:

$string = "title: Football team: Real Madrid stadium: Santiago Bernabeu players: Zinédine Zidane, Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raúl personnel: José Mourinho (head coach) Aitor Karanka (assistant coach (es))";

@split_string = split /(?=\b\w+:)/, $string;
