Basically the same answer, but a little more golfed:
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my %data;
my $current_key;
while( <DATA> ) {
my ($key, $value) = m[^((?:\w{2})?)\s+(.*)] or die "Bad line: $_";
last if $key eq 'ER';
$current_key = $key || $current_key;
die "No key defined" unless $current_key;
push @{ $data{$current_key} }, $value;
}
print Dumper \%data
__DATA__
T1 Line1
T2 Line2
Line3
Line4
T3 Line5
Line6
ER
Updated. I should test these things first :-)
(and its silly that
(\w{2}?) doesn't DWIM)
(and see
Aristotle's answer further down for a very similar answer). Oh well).
