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).
