&lt;p&gt;Hi experts,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there any way we can read the flat file by field names. For example I have a flat file like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;name=AAAAAAAA DOB=10101970&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;name=BBBBBBBB DOB=10101971&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;name=CCCCCCCC DOB=10101972&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to refer these values by name, DOB after i read the record in the PERL program?&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much in advance&lt;/p&gt;
