Dear Gods,...Hello

*I have been trying all day to no avail,..PLEASE HELP*

I have data like this

-------------------- show port-channel database ------------------
port-channel 1
    Administrative channel mode is on
    Operational channel mode is on
    Last membership update succeeded
    First operational port is fc1/5
    2 ports in total, 2 ports up
    Ports:   fc2/5    [up]  
             fc1/5    [up] *

port-channel 3
    Administrative channel mode is on
    Operational channel mode is on
    Last membership update succeeded
    First operational port is fc1/1
    1 port in total, 1 port up
    Ports:   fc1/1    [up] *

All I am trying to do is to create a data structure (i.e a Hash) where I can populate it like so;

$Rec->{Port_Channel_Name} = "port-channel 1"
       $Rec->{port_member} = fc2/5  
       $Rec->{port_member} = fc1/5
               .
               .
               .
       $Rec->{port_member} = fcX/X

$Rec->{Port_Channel_Name} = "port-channel 3"
       $Rec->{port_member} = fc1/1

I have tried all day with so many different variations of the code below and still getting nowhere very fast!

for my $Info (@Switch_Array)
{
    if ($Info =~/show port-channel database/)
    {
        next unless ($Info ne "");
        my @Filter = (split /(port-channel \d\n)/,$Info);
        print "$1 : $Filter[0]\n";
        
#        for my $Filtered (@Filter)
#        {
#            print "$Filtered \n";
        }
    }

Maybe a second fresh pair of eyes can spot where and why I am going wrong!!

Thanks a million again.
