Re^2: Logic trouble parsing a formatted text file into hashes of hashes (of hashes, etc.)

No. I am totally baffled by your answer. But perhaps its the "nudge" I need, and I'll read the link you provided and knock some more dust off.

I cannot thus far find a CPAN module to help me (beyond using Net::Telnet::Netscreen; visiting each box insecurely is no fun what so ever).

THX!!!

He's speaking of building a SAX-style parser for your file format. Recognize tokens, call functions when you find them, and keep track of context with package variables... Another alternative might be Parse::RecDescent or the YAPP module...	[reply]
