The code I have, (with the help of one of an esteemed perl monk :)) 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;

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

my $file = "log.txt";
open FH, $file or die "Couldn't open file: [$!]\n";

my $data = {};
my $hash = {};
while ( <FH> )
{
    my $line = $_;
    chomp $line;
    if ( $line =~ m/(-){2,}/ )
    {
        
        my $program = $hash->{Program} || '';
        my $jira    = $hash->{JIRA} || $hash->{QA} || $hash->{DEV} || 
+'';
        if ( $program && $jira ) 
        {
            push @{ $data->{ $program }{ $jira }}, $hash;
            $hash = {};
        }
    }
    else
    {

        elsif ( $line =~ m#/# && exists $hash->{Files} )
        {
            $hash->{Files} .= "\n$line";
    }
}
}
print 'data = ' . Dumper( $data );

foreach my $prg ( sort keys %{ $data } )
