I think this will do what you want.

use strict; use warnings; use YAML; my %hosts; my $current_host; while ( my $line = <DATA> ) { chomp $line; if ( my ($host) = $line =~ /\[(\w+)\]/ ) { $current_host = $host; push @{ $hosts{$current_host} }, $host; } elsif ( my ($dir) = $line =~ /"([^"]+)"/ ){ push @{ $hosts{$current_host} }, $dir; } } print Dump \%hosts; __DATA__ [msservername1] "/etc/like" "/etc/whatever" [msservername2] "/etc/whatever" __END__ --- msservername1: - msservername1 - /etc/like - /etc/whatever msservername2: - msservername2 - /etc/whatever

I don't put the result in @mshost1, @mshost2 etc since I don't know how many there will be and it is bad practice to generate them on the fly. Instead I've put them in a hash keyed on the host name.
