You could do something like this.

open(FILE,"somefile.txt") || print "$!";
while(<FILE>)
{
$line = $_;
chomp($line);
($var1,$var2) = split(/\|/, $line);
#if you want these in 2 arrays like your example
push(@array1, $var1);
push(@array2, $var2);
#or if youre just searching for a record,
# do your comparison instead
}
close(FILE);
