So I nicked this code 
#! c:/perl/bin/prl.exe
#
use strict;

my ($Rec,$pc_name);

while (<DATA>) 
{
    $pc_name = $1, next if (/interface (\.)+$/);
    $Rec->{$pc_name}->{$1} = $2 if  (/switchport description (\.+)$/);
}

for my $data (keys %{$Rec})
    {
        print "$data \n";
        for my $data2 (keys %{$Rec->{$data}})
        {
            print "\t$data2 : $Rec->{$data}->{$data2}\n";        
        }
    }

Although the above code makes sense to me, but I didn't get any output!

I tinkered with the code for a while, but still to no avail. Therefore I am going to resort to your great wisdom, yet again.

Can a wise monk please enlighten me....Many Thanks



PS: I will learn this RegEx eventually!
