Knowing the record separator we can do a little "better":

use strict;
use warnings;

my @records = {};
$/ = "\n//";

while (defined(my $rec = <DATA>)) {
    my %fields = $rec =~ /^(?:(?! {10}) *(\S{1,10}))?  (.*?(?=\n(?! {1
+0})|\Z))/gms;
    
    $fields{$_} = [map {s/^\s*//; $_} split "\n", $fields{$_}] for key
+s %fields;
    push @records, \%fields;
}

for my $record (@records) {
    print "$_:\n", map{"   $_\n"} @{$record->{$_}} for sort keys %$rec
+ord;
    print "\n\n";
}
