What have you tried? What hasn't worked? See How (Not) To Ask A Question. See Writeup Formatting Tips for info on how to format expected input and output using <code> tags to remove possible ambiguity.

The clustering you describe can be accomplished using the description as a key in a hash of arrays - see perllol. Something like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my %hash;
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
    chomp $line;
    my ($number, $description) = split /\s/, $line, 2;
    push @{$hash{$description}}, $number;
}
print Dumper \%hash;

__DATA__
00001 Description1
00002 Description2
00003 Description1

See perlreftut if you are not familiar with references. Let us know if you have trouble changing this code into something that outputs your desired format.
