Your code is incomplete, as i don't see assignment of Program Reviewer, rev, etc. Also i don't see how you can fill different JIRA and Program with same data (@records).

There is no example how your input looks like. It's difficult to figure out how it should be done.

Below is short example of how data can be processed: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Terse    = 1;

my $hash = {};
foreach my $line ( <DATA> )
{
    chomp $line;
    my ( $jira, $program, $rev, $reviewer, $desc ) = split /:/, $line;

    my $data = { JIRA        => $jira,
                 Program     => $program,
                 rev         => $rev,
                 Reviewer    => $reviewer,
                 Description => $desc,
               };
    push @{ $hash->{ $program }}, $data;
}

print 'hash = ' . Dumper( $hash );


__DATA__
COM-6789:Testing:r876391:Balise Mat:Audited
COM-6789:Testing:r698392:Chan Joe:SO hwat
