ronix has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Perl Priests, Sorry, if this has been covered I could not figure out the right search terms for finding it. I'm looking for the best method of pulling 2 specific strings from the aix command generated data below (lscfg -vl hdisk*). If it was all space delimited I'd have less questions about ways to do this, but since it is a mixture of spaces, periods, and blank lines I'm at a loss.
hdisk0 P1/Z1-Aa 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive (18200 MB) Manufacturer................IBM Machine Type and Model......ST318305LC FRU Number..................09P4437 Serial Number...............0009E05B Part Number.................09P4436 hdisk1 P1/Z1-Ab 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive (18200 MB) Manufacturer................IBM Machine Type and Model......ST318305LC FRU Number..................09P4437 Serial Number...............0004A0D2 Part Number.................09P4436
So I would be looking for just the physical volume name and the serial #:
hdisk0 0009E05B hdisk1 0004A0D2
Thanks for any direction you can give and for taking the time to look.
