Could you possibly change the title to be more descriptive? (I don't care to spend time what that would be.)

Pseudocode ... 

open file

while reading file line by line

  in @data, save lines from /^G/ (inclusive) to
            next /^G/ (exclusive)

  call parse_check on @data

close file

in parse_check,

  $data[0] =~ /^G/ or early return

  @find = split $data[0] on ":"
  remove /^G/ from $find[0]

  @field = parsed CSV output of @data[1,$#data].
  remove /^E/ from @field
  
  for space in @field
    match space with each of @find
      if all succeed, well, you succeeded
      and return true

  outside of loop, return false
