Greetings, I am a newbie to Perl scripting and have a question that I am hoping someone might be able to help answer. I am attempting to create a Perl script that when executed will take the output of the command and arrange it so I can import the data into a monitoring system I have. The command I am needing for the script to open is xgridstatus -h localhost -A and then take the data and format it so I can use the data.

Here is what the output of the above command looks like when ran 

{
    availableAgentCount = 101;
    availableProcessorCount = 186;
    offlineAgentCount = 0;
    offlineProcessorCount = 0;
    onlineAgentCount = 101;
    onlineProcessorCount = 186;
    totalAgentCount = 101;
    unavailableAgentCount = 0;
    unavailableProcessorCount = 0;
    workingAgentCount = 0;
    workingAgentPercentage = 0;
    workingMegaHertz = 0;
    workingProcessorCount = 0;
}

I'm needing to format this data so it looks like this availableAgentCount:101 availableProcessorCount:186 and so on for each line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
