in reply to Parsing a file and finding the dependencies in it

Hello all, I would appreciate advice on how to go about writing a Perl script solution to the following problem:

The first thing I would do is identify the file format, and look to CPAN for a parser...

Alternatively see String Search ( esp Re: String Search,Re^5: String Search )

    It is a custom format.
    The problem is not parsing the file, but finding the dependencies as explained above. Thanks.
