Off-topic, and anal-retentive on my part. Rather than 
$FIELDS = {
'AA' => {
        'Description' => '',
        'Type' => 'Module',
        'File' => 'Sample1.pl',

        'BB' => {
        'Description' => 'Initiator',
        'Type' => 'Methods',
        'File' => 'Sample1.pl',
        },

please consider 
$FIELDS = {

This shows you the closing curley-brace you forgot after the 'Values' block.

It doesn't really matter what convention you choose, but pick a standard and keep to it.
