Well, one way to do it is to update the parent's hashref as you're looping through the data:
# Get the data and store it in a message hash
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my ($id, $parent, $from, $date, $content) = split /,/;
$msg->{$id} = {
# id => $id, # only if you feel it's necessary
thread => $parent,
from => $from,
date => $date,
content => $content,
child => [],
};
push @{ $msg->{$parent}[child] }, $id;
# or even
# push @{ $msg->{$parent}[child] }, $msg->{$id}
# to save time/work/effort/etc
# but then it might be necessary to store the id
# in the hash itself
}

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).
