Yup, you'd need an array:
@emails = split(/\|/, $logemailfile);

<tip type='Perl associative arrays')
A nice way to check if a specific string is an array member is
to convert it to an associative array, where the keys are the
members of the initial array. Then you check for the exisitence
of a given key - if it exists, then your specific string was an
array member.

But remember case sensitivity...
