Hi, pretty simple question here for the experts. I'm running a .csv list through a foreach loop, and if certain criteria is met, I want to print it out but separated by categories:

@data = <IN>;
my @sorted_data = sort @data;
foreach $line (@sorted_data) {
  chomp $line;
  $line =~ /(.*?)\,(.*?)\,(.*)/;
  $first = $1;
  $second = $2;
  $last = $3;
  if ($last eq $second) {
    if($second eq $first) {
      $print "$second really = $first\n";
       } else {
         print "$last only = $first\n";
         }
       }
  }

Instead of doing the print line by line, I'd like to get out of the foreach to print everything separately - like all the $second = $first together and the $last = $first together. Current output has them all mixed up since I'm looking at it line by line and printing the same. Would hash be better? sub? Would appreciate any assistance.
