If you work with records as units rather than with lines things get a little easier:
use warnings;
use strict;
my @records;
local $/ = "\n\n";
while (<DATA>) {
my ($title, $row) = /TEST\s+\w+\W+(\w+)\D+(\d+)/;
next unless defined $row;
push @records, [$title, $row];
}
print "$_->[0] -> $_->[1]\n" for @records;
__DATA__
data per sample
Prints:
CUSTOMERPHONE -> 1300
CUSTOMERORDER -> 0
CUSTOMERCARE -> 530
Note that @records is used to preserve the order of the data in the source. The reversion to using a hash should be simple and obvious.
