If your whitespace is really neat, you could say:

use SuperSplit;

open (INI, "<file.ini");
$ini = supersplit( '\n', '\n\s*\n', \*INI);

and there you have all your values in a 2D-array.

Just today I posted Supersplit as a craft.

I was dreaming of guitarnotes that would irritate an executive kind of guy (FZ)

Update: When I saw davorg's hashes, I wanted that too. It's really simple, just add the following lines:

map{ 
 $key=shift( @$_ ); 
 ($key)=~ tr/[]//d; 
 $hash->{$key}=[@$_];
} @$ini;

Hope this helps
