If your data is not as regular as you indicate, I'd go with something like ikegami's Parse::RecDescent solution, as it's more robust, and easier to modify (though if you don't understand how P::R works, you shouldn't blindly adopt it).
What I didn't see (and I'm surprised you weren't chastised for it :), is code that you've already tried. While the replies you've received are top quality, you've been deprived of the experience of learning how to get there yourself. And I wallow in complete self-interest here, because if most of the Seekers Of Perl Wisdom didn't become Givers of Perl Wisdom, Perl Monks would soon become a desert of unanswered questions, along the lines of Earl Sinclair on Dinosaurs, when he starts a call-in TV show. Something like:
Earl: "You're on Ask A Question! What's you're question?"
Caller: "What do they call those little plastic thingies on the end of shoelaces?"
Earl: "Hey, that's a good question...Next caller!"
