This modification to your code:

use strict; use warnings; while(<DATA>) { chomp($_); if ($_ =~ m/\[(\d{4}\/\d{2}\/\d{2}\s+\d{2}\:\d{2}\:\d{2})\]\s+\[(\ +d{1,3})\]\s+ERRORMSG\s+(.*)/) { my $date = $1; my $err_no = $2; my $err_msg = $3; if ($. > 1) { print qq{\n}; } print "$date === $err_no === $err_msg"; } else { print qq{ $_}; } } print qq{\n};

produces this output:
