I am trying to creat a data structure like;

San device : SAN3
Lun Name : LUNName3
WW Names : 60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:93
           60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:92

San device : SAN4
Lun Name : LUNName4
WW Names : 66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:13
           66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:12
           66:01:43:80:00:be:79:12
           66:01:43:80:00:be:79:10

And so forth...

I wrote this bit of code which is not working!

my $xls_path = "c:/path_to_xls.xlsx";
my $xls = $excel->Workbooks->Open("$xls_path");     

foreach my $sheet ( in $xls->Worksheets ) 
{
    $San ={};
    $San->{name} = $sheet->Name, $/;    
    
    my $San_data = $xls->Worksheets("$San->{name}");
    my @Colum_A = $San_data->UsedRange->{'Value'};
    
    if ( "$Colum_A[0]" =~ /ARRAY/)
    {
        $San->{note} = 'Live SAN Box';        
        foreach my $array (@{$Colum_A[0]})
        {
            foreach (@$array)
            {
                my @wwn;
                next if ((uc $_) eq (uc "$San->{name}"));
                next if not defined $_;
                
                push (@{$San->{LUNs}},$_) if ($_ !~ /:/);
                foreach my $LUN (@{$San->{LUNs}})
                {
                    print "\n".$LUN.": ".$_."\n" if ($_ =~ /:/);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $San->{note} = $Colum_A[0];
        
    }
    #print Dumper $San;
    
    print "\n__________\n";
}
__DATA__
LUNName1
60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:93
60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:92

LUNName1
66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:13
66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:12
66:01:43:80:00:be:79:12
66:01:43:80:00:be:79:10

LUNName3
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:95:23
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:95:22
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:ab:a3
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:ab:a2
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:b4:c3
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:b4:c2

LUNName4
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:36:c2
89:05:08:b2:00:b9:fa:13

can someone pretty please advise how can I creat such data structures from the __DATA__ that I have?

In Fact; I don't slurp the data in, I populate an array direct from excel with

my @Colum_A = $San_data->UsedRange->{'Value'};

so I think this would be better

@Colum_A = qw/LUNName1
60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:93
60:05:08:b2:00:bb:b6:92

LUNName1
66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:13
66:05:08:b2:00:7d:15:12
66:01:43:80:00:be:79:12
66:01:43:80:00:be:79:10

LUNName3
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:95:23
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:95:22
66:05:08:b2:00:b2:ab:a3
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:ab:a2
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:b4:c3
89:05:08:b2:00:b2:b4:c2

LUNName4
