    Well, not for something this simple. There's practically no variation in the lines. A simple hash or perhaps hash of hashrefs should be all that's needed here.

      Yes I took a glimpse at that module and it did seem a little too much like killing flies with a howitzer. :)

      However, should I ever need to parse something less uniform, I'll be sure to remember where to start looking.
