Well, off the top of my head, you can change the record delimiter so 
that a "line" becomes everything between the words "profile" instead of 
"\n". That way each record will contain a single username. I can't 
remember which variable you have to set in Perl (in BASH it's called IFS).

I'm sure there's More Than One Way To Do It.
