First off, I'd set the record separator to that big line of dashes, then push each 'line' into an array. I'd do this in a block, so that the record separator would automatically return to it's regular value of "\n" after the block. Then I'd go through the array I created in step one, and create a hash by splitting on ": " and newlines, taking care to make sure that a 'cuid' key exists. I'd push this hash into a different array. At that point, I'd be ready to loop through this second array to create output in whatever format I'd need.

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).
