parsing a block

Hi,
I've got a file that looks like this:
Data1,Field1,Field2,field3
Data2,F1,F2
Data3,F1,F3
END
Data2,Field3,Field2,field3
Dataw,F1,F3
Datad,F3,F3
END
Data4,Field4,Field4,field3
Data3,F1,F2
Data3,F1,F45
END

I want to be able to split data by using END delimiter but this didn't work! Here what I tried:

# to split lines by END delimiter
while ($line =<INPUT>) {
    @mylineBlock = split/END\n/, $line;
}

@mylines was empty.
then I wanted to split for each lines in an END block by \n

for ( $i  = 0;$i <=$#mylineBlock ; $i++)
   @mysublines = split/\n/, @mylineBlock;
}
then I wanted to access each field in each line in each 'END' block
and I tried
for ( $i  = 0;$i <=$#mysublines ; $i++)
   @myfields = split/\n/, @mysublines;
}

Thanks for any help

AL
