... I can't guarantee the availability of any non-core modules on whatever system this ends up running on.

It's also useful to know if some minimal Perl version can be expected or not. Ferinstance, version 5.10 adds a bunch of really neat regex extensions, e.g., the recursive (?PARNO) pattern family.

It's also good to know if the format of the data is as strict as is suggested by your OPed example data; tybalt89's solution depends on the opening keyword and terminal delimiter of each
object "identifier" in { ... };
group both desperately hugging the left margin, and any departure from this will sink you.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
