Here's my best guess at what you're looking for (tested). I left the "Ditribution of ..." section out for brevity. It would be just another "if ($section eq ...)" clause pushing data onto an array ref in the %data hash. If more sections are needed, consider generalizing the section parsing. Hope this helps. 
sub Get_Sect  {
   my $targetLV = shift;
   my $section='';
   my ($name,$value);
   my %data;
         
   open my $IN,  '<', 'testpars.dat';
   LINE:
   while (<$IN>) {
      chomp;
      if (/^\s*$/) {
         return \%data     if ($data{'LV_Name'} = $targetLV);
         $section = '';
         next LINE;
      }
      if (/^--- Logical volumes ---/) {
         $section = 'vol';
         next LINE;
      }
      if ($section eq 'vol') {
         ($name,$value) = unpack('a28 a*',$_);
         $name =~ s/(\s+\(.+\))?\s+$//; #remove paren & spaces at end
         $name =~ s/\s/_/g;   
         $data{$name} = $value;
      }
   }
}
