An approach reading a line at a time rather than slurping the whole file.

use strict;
use warnings;

open my $inFH, q{<}, \ <<__EOD__ or die $!;
Title 1
Line of text A
Line of text B
Title 2
Line of text C
Title 3
Title 4
Line of text D
__EOD__

my @groups;
while ( <$inFH> )
{
    if ( m{^Title} )
    {
        unshift @groups, [ $_ ];
    }
    else
    {
        push @{ $groups[ 0 ] }, $_;
    }
}

while ( my $group = shift @groups )
{
    print @{ $group };
}

The output.

Title 4
Line of text D
Title 3
Title 2
Line of text C
Title 1

I hope this is of interest.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
