You mean putting something like this on to CPAN?

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @blocks = do { local $/='ID:'; <DATA> };
shift @blocks;

my %config;
foreach my $line (@blocks) {
    my ($id) = $line =~ /^(\w+)/;
    my %keys = $line =~ /^(\w+):(\w+)/gms;
    $config{$id} = \%keys;
}

print Dumper(\%config);

__DATA__
HEADER1:value
HEADER2:value
ID:id1
KEY1:A
KEY2:B
KEY3:C
ID:id2
KEY3:E
KEY2:F
ID:id3
KEY5:G

__OUTPUT__
$VAR1 = {
          'id1' => {
                     'KEY3' => 'C',
                     'KEY1' => 'A',
                     'KEY2' => 'B'
                   },
          'id2' => {
                     'KEY3' => 'E',
                     'KEY2' => 'F'
                   },
          'id3' => {
                     'KEY5' => 'G'
                   }
        };
