Kwabena,
Your problem has 2 parts - the first is to load your data file and check for
duplicates, and the second is to be able to look for items of interest and
retrieve the values.
Here's a light-duty example of how to do this using hashes.

HI kabana,
This is something I do a lot so I wrote a little "utils" package to contain
this and other common actions.
Here is the subroutine.
Pass it the name of the config file, a hash reference and an optinal
delimeter. You will get back a hash populated with the details of the
config file
