Hi all
I am trying to match a similar set of lines from a config file and store the results in a hash.

interface Port-channel31
 description abc.xyz-conf
 no ip address
 load-interval 60
 switchport
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 15-17,30,35,120,130,135,140,145,150,201
+,202,209

My approach is :
1. Find a line starting with string "interface".
2. Search the next following line with "description abc.xyz-conf"
3. Search the next following line with "switchport trunk allowed vlan 15-17,30,35,120,130,135,140,145,150,201,202,209"
4. Store the key-value pair for each descriptio-vlans found.
- Similar patterns are to be searched across the config.
Can someone suggest how do I go about doing this in perl.
Any help appreciated.
