Hello, Im completely new to Perl and I was curious how using this file might work: 
----------------------------
Contact_Name: Ben Cochrane

Clinic_Name: Bens Clinic

Billing_Address: 10728 - 56 Ave

Street_Address: 10729 - 104 Ave

......
-------------------------------

[download]
That is the structure of the file (Value: Data) followed by a blank line between each value. I have a hash that I would like to fill in the values for 
---------------------------------
%wrvars = {
    
    "CONTACT_NAME" => "",
    "CURRENT_DATE" => "",
    "CLINIC_NAME" => "",
    "CONTACT_NAME" => "",
    "CITY" => "",
        ....
---------------------------------

[download]
I would like to take the info from the file and fill in to the corresponding hash variable so that the has would become: 
----------------------------------
%wrvars = {
    
    "CONTACT_NAME" => "Ben Cochrane",
    "CURRENT_DATE" => "Ben's Clinic",
        ...
----------------------------------

If somebody could please help me (Im not a programmer) it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
