That looks like Java Style. However, for such configuration files exists a module: Config::Properties which will do all the dirty work for you. I propose a pseudo code like use Config::Properties; my $properties = Config::Properties->new(); $properties->load( $fileHandle); my @values = split ' ' => $properties->getProperty( 'Parameter' ); I also could imagine that there's a more Perlish module solving this problem.
