Here's suhailck's basic example using a hash of arrays of hashes to allow for multiple versions of the same file with the same name.

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my %files_by;

while (<DATA>) {
    my ($file_path, $file_name, $version)
        = m{^(.*/(.*))#(\d+)$};

    push @{ $files_by{$file_name} }, {
        file_path => $file_path,
        version   => $version,
    };
}

for my $file_name (sort keys %files_by) {
    for my $href (@{ $files_by{$file_name} }) {
        print "File name:    $file_name\n";
        print "File path:    $href->{file_path}\n";
        print "File version: $href->{version}\n";
    }
}


# This prints 6
print $files_by{'modem.c'}[2]{version}, "\n";

# This prints '//depot/asic/tools/perl/files/examples/apps.c'
print $files_by{'apps.c'}[0]{file_path}, "\n";

__DATA__
//depot/asic/tools/perl/scripts/examples/modem.c#4
//depot/asic/tools/perl/scripts/examples/modem.c#5
//depot/asic/tools/perl/scripts/examples/modem.c#6
//depot/asic/tools/perl/scripts/examples/modem.c#7
//depot/asic/tools/perl/files/examples/file.txt#2
