G'day CTinMich,

Welcome to the monastery.

Your current solution seems to be doing a lot of unnecessary processing: slurp entire file; split into records; loop through those records. Depending on the size of the input file, that could be using a lot of memory. Depending on the number of records, shift @records could also be doing a lot of unnecessary processing.

The following (simpler) solution has none of those issues. 

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

{
    local $/ = "\ndirectory";

    while (<DATA>) {
        next if $. == 1;
        /(\S+)\D+(\d\S+)\s+(\/\S+|)[^(]+\(\s*([^)]+)/;
        my ($path, $usage, $threshold) = ($3 || $1, $2, $4);
        print "path=$path; usage=$usage; threshold=$threshold\n";
    }
} 

__DATA__
