To show another common Perl technique for your toolbox...
Use match global to create a list of pairs: Key,value,key2,value2,etc and simply assign that list to a hash variable. Bingo, a multi-key hash with the value assignments from one line of data. I recommend careful study of the regex to understand the specifics of exactly how it works. Update: the concept of a minimal vs a maximal match applies.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
while (<DATA>)
{
my %hash = /\s*(.*?)="(.*?)"/g;
print Dumper \%hash;
}
=Prints:
$VAR1 = {
'value' => '2017-06-03T11:27:23+01:00',
'type' => 't',
'desc' => 'Time file was created.',
'ord' => '3',
'Attr num' => '101',
'name' => 'Created'
};
=cut
__DATA__
Attr num="101" name="Created" desc="Time file was created." type="t" o
+rd="3" value="2017-06-03T11:27:23+01:00"
