I have a text file, that I am trying to parse. Each "record" starts with filename.jpg: followed by a blank line or filename.jpg: followed by multiple lines of data. What I want to do is take the info that is associated with a filename and keep it in a variable to work with later.
This is what I have so far: 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings;
use strict;
my $fh;
open($fh, "</home/me/bulk.txt")
    or die "Can't open: $!";
while (my $line = <$fh>) # was $line
{
if ($line=~/(jpg:\Z)/) {
        print "\n";
            print $1;
    if ($line=~/(\w)/) {
            print "\n";
        print $line;
        print "\n";
        }
    }
}

The part that I am stuck with is after finding the *.jpg filename I want to check to see if the next line is a blank or has data. This is an example of the text file.
