Hello!

I'm newbi and sill I've got some troubles with simple things. I know that practice is a way to perfection, so I'm training all exercises I can find.
And I've found something like this:

In articles.txt files is: 
[Athlon 4000+]
price=300 euro
produce=AMD
description=Fast

[Celeron 3000]
price=200 euro
produce=Intel
description=Slower

How to parse this into: 
%hash(
"item"=>"Athlon 4000+",
"price"=>"300 euro"
"produce"="AMD"
"description="Fast");
etc...

I've made some terrible stupid code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $file = "articles.txt";

open( FILE, "< $file" );
my @all = <FILE>;
close FILE;
my $temp;
my ( @art, @produce, @prices, @descriptions );

foreach $temp (@all) {
    if ( $temp =~ m/\[(.*)\]/ ) {
        push @art, $1;
    }
}

foreach $temp (@all) {
    if ( $temp =~ m/produce=(.*)/ ) {
        push @produce, $1;
    }
}

foreach $temp (@all) {
    if ( $temp =~ m/price=(.*)/ ) {
        push @prices, $1;
    }
}

foreach $temp (@all) {
    if ( $temp =~ m/descriptions=(.*)/ ) {
        push @descriptions, $1;
    }
}

and try to do with it something like this: 
my %hash = (
    "art"          => ( shift @art ),
    "produce"      => ( shift @produce ),
    "price"        => ( shift @prices ),
    "descriptions" => ( shift @descriptions) 
);

I know it is totaly stupid - this is the worse code i ever wrote, but I have no idea how to do things like that.
Any compassionate monk can whisper me any hint?
Thanks a lot
