There are a few ways to get to the bottom of this. First off depending on what system you are programming on (ultimately which character set you are using) you can look for linefeeds and carrige returns to identify the end of each line. Secondly, knowing that, use regular expressions to identify the start (b) and ending (c) points in your script. Then after identifing them, open your readline if the expression is true, set an "indicator" to reflect the state of the readline and and then close again when the indicator changes. You will need a loop to input to your array. Add one word to the array at a time or add a whole line. Regardless of how may lines/word you are placing in the array, the array space needs to be incremented while storing.
The cat in the hat.
$_[0] = "The";
$_[1] = "cat";
...
Something like this (Can't remember the exact syntax)
...
var $i = 0;
While filehandle <> EOF {
$_[$i] = readline(fileandle);
$i++;
}

Cheers & Happy Programming.
