What we're all trying to say is:
How would you prefer to write it? Perl can parse that.
But without any concrete preferences other than "I want to end up with
data structure X", all we can do is put little snippets out there.

Basically, I need to read in a text file and have each projects information put into an array. I later need to be able to easily call up a project with a certain ID number and have the information displayed in an html file and then also make it accesible to be updated.
I'm hoping for an easier way then having to write something to compare an inputed project ID number to a row in the format previously shown.
e.g. I don't want for project 35 to have to call up $array34,0, $array34,1, $array34,2, etc.
This has to be easily usable for non tech people and take an unknown number of projects(up to 100)

It's an online, text based database that you can download and reconfigure fairly easily. The text is tab delimited. You can search on the various fields. If necessary, you can have links between different text databases, simply by setting up the appropriate CGI scripts.
Individual records are parsed into an array, whose elements can be printed into a table individually (eg some as plain text, some as hyperlinks).
I've used it in the past, so I'm reasonably familiar with it if you want to use it. It would at least give you an idea as to where to start.
