Your %HoA data structure is defined within your processing loop. Try running your code through Perl::Tidy to see some of the obvious structural problems.

Just do the processing like demonstrated below. You can change it back to file processing on your own:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my %HoA;

while (<DATA>) {
    if (/(\d+)\s+(.*?)\[/) {
        push @{$HoA{$1}}, $2;

    } else {
        warn "Unknown data format: $_\n";
    }
}

foreach my $k (sort keys %HoA) {
    print "$k\n\t@{$HoA{$k}}\n";
}
