I am new to perl programming. And i am trying to do the configuration file using Config::Simple The configuration file i.e. new1.conf

[Section1]
param1=value1
param2=value2

[Section2]
param1=value1
param2=value2

[Section3]
param1=value1
param2=value2
[download]

here is my code

use Config::Simple;

$cfg = new Config::Simple(syntax => 'ini');

#
# Get Section Names
# 
$cfg = Config::Simple->import_from('new.conf', \%Config)  or die Confi
+g::Simple->error();
my @arr = ( keys %Config );
@arr1 = grep s/\..*//, @arr;
my %uniq;
@uniq{@arr} = ();
@sections = keys %uniq;

foreach my $secname (sort @sections) 
{
    print "section : $secname\n";
    foreach (sort keys %Config) 
    {

        print "$_ : $Config{$_}\n";

    }
}

For this i am getting the output like this

section : Section1
Section1.param1 : value1
Section1.param2 : value2
Section2.param1 : value1
Section2.param2 : value2
Section3.param1 : value1
Section3.param2 : value2
section : Section2
Section1.param1 : value1
Section1.param2 : value2
Section2.param1 : value1
Section2.param2 : value2
Section3.param1 : value1
Section3.param2 : value2
section : Section3
Section1.param1 : value1
Section1.param2 : value2
Section2.param1 : value1
Section2.param2 : value2
Section3.param1 : value1
Section3.param2 : value2

I am trying to compare the section names with paramaters in that respective section. for that i am trying to write this code

foreach my $secname (sort @sections) 
{
    print "section : $secname\n";
    foreach (sort keys %Config) 
    {
        $var = grep { !/\b[A-Za-z0-9.].*[.]/ } @arr;
        if($secname == $var)
        {
            print "$secname\n";
        }
        else
        {
            print "false\n";
        }

        #compare 'secname' vs 'dialer onboard'.xxx
        #print "$_ : $Config{$_}\n";

    }
}

This is not working for me. I stuck up here only I cant be able to compare and display the section name with the respective params and values.

And finally i want output like this below.

section : Section1
Section1.param1 : value1
Section1.param2 : value2
section : Section2
Section2.param1 : value1
Section2.param2 : value2
section : Section3
Section3.param1 : value1
Section3.param2 : value2

or at least i want to display the params. I think i am doing something wrong in comparing params and section. I am not able to identify that. Please somebody suggest me where i am going wrong Thanks in advance.
