First of all, can this be XML instead? Then you can pass off the
parsing to XML::Simple or something similar.
If not, it looks like you want to organize by whitespace. (Like Tor
said, a "group end" token would help.) It also looks like you want to
end up with something like:
$VAR1 = {
'sometext' => {
'tom' => 1,
'dick' => 1,
'harry' => 1,
'more sometext' => {
'larry' => 1,
'curly' => 1,
'moe' => 1
}
}
};
But possibly not using hashrefs (because you have duplicates) and
possibly not nesting references. Can you be more specific (in a
general way) about your secret requirements?
