Hi,

A better way is to create a hash containing your arrays as values (I put your input into a file named 'test'):

use Data::Dumper;
my %h;

open FH, "test";
while (<FH>)
{
   chomp;
   next if /^\s*$/;
   split /=/;
   push @{$h{$_[0]}}, $_[1];
}
close FH;

print Dumper \%h;

output:

$VAR1 = {
          'A ' => [
                    ' 1',
                    ' 2',
                    ' 3'
                  ],
          'B ' => [
                    ' 5',
                    ' 1',
                    ' 7'
                  ]
        };

Enjoy,
