Or, if you don't want to use a module, you could try this solution:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; chomp(my @data = <DATA>); my $in_section = 0; my @source_go = (); my $record = {}; foreach my $line (@data) { if ($line =~ /^\[([^]]+)\]/ and not $in_section) { $record->{app} = $1; $in_section = 1; } elsif ($line =~ /^\[([^]]+)\]/ and $in_section and not exists $record->{path}) { # We found a section start, but no Script_Path parameter to go # with it. Warn and continue on the current section. warn("No Script_Path for " . $record->{app} . "\n"); $record->{app} = $1; $in_section = 1; } elsif ($line =~ /^Script_Path=(.+)/) { $record->{path} = $1; push @source_go, $record; $record = {}; $in_section = 0; } } print Dumper(\@source_go); __DATA__ [Microsoft MediaPlayer Settings 1.0] Script_Path=apps\microsoft\mediaplayersettings\1.0\go\mediaplayersetti +ngs10.go Information=Go Success Install_Start_Time=05/26/2004 5:55:36 PM Install_End_Time=05/26/2004 5:55:40 PM [Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer v1.5] Script_Path=apps\microsoft\journalviewer\1.5\go\journalviewer.go UTC_Timestamp=06/03/2003 17:04:10 GoScript_Checksum=66665 Install_Start_Time=05/26/2004 5:58:24 PM Install_End_Time=05/26/2004 5:58:34 PM [Company RAC 1.0] Script_Path=apps\company\remoteaccessclient\1.0\go\uninstallvs.go UTC_Timestamp=03/03/2003 18:19:05 GoScript_Checksum=175108 Product version=1.0 PM [Microsoft Resource Kit v1.0] GoScript_Checksum=69503 Product version=1.0 Install_End_Time=05/26/2004 6:00:42 PM [Microsoft Remote Console Setup v2.02] Script_Path=apps\company\msreskitxp\go\rcsetup.go UTC_Timestamp=05/24/2002 01:19:33 GoScript_Checksum=56813 [Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP 1.00] Script_Path=apps\microsoft\powertoysforwindowsxp\1.00\go\powertoysforw +indowsxp100.go
It's not extensively tested, but seems to work fine.

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
