The Following code creates a hash with first column(Person*) as outer key and other values as inner hash, now you can easily go over the outer key and match the Person and get the values.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my %temp=();
my %main_struc=();
my $match='Person2';
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
chomp $line;
my @fields = split ("," , $line,2);
my @temp=split(',',$fields[1]);
foreach my $data (@temp){
my($key,$value)=split('=',$data);
$key =~ s/^\s+//;
$key =~ s/\s+$//;
$main_struc{$fields[0]}{$key}=$value
}
}
print Dumper \%main_struc;
print "@{$main_struc{$match}}{'Name','Age','Gender'}"
All is well. I learn by answering your questions...
