Beware: this code is completely untested.
my($ticket,$customer,$status,$priority,$owner,$summary);
while (<FILE_HANDLE>) {
chomp;
if (substr($_, 0,1) == " ") {
### 1st char is space - line just be summary line ###
my $summary = $_;
### since you now have all the pieces of data, you
### can build your hash and array element, and then
### move on to the next record.
}
else {
### 1st char is not a space - this is not a summary
### line.
($ticket,$customer,$status,$priority,$owner) =
split /\w+/;
}
HTH.
