Grouping perl foreach values

[Kim Holburn]

I assume you have a list in which case you have to refer to it as a list:
@listofthings not $listofthings
in that case try:

while (($c1,$c2,$c3) = splice (@list, 0, 3)) {
  ... do stuff ...
}

If not how does your data start?  If you have you data initially in text form what delimiters?
