Parsing the strings ought to be easy. It prefaces the interesting data with a bar of hyphens, and the name, IP and port ought not have whitespace. So you can simply read and discard lines until you find the line of hyphens. After that, you can use a simple split to break out the individual fields:
while (my $line = <$FH>) {
next if $line =~ /^-----/;
my ($name, $ip, $port) = split /\s+/, $line;
print "Name: $name, IP: $ip, Port: $port\n";
}
Other alternatives include using substr or unpack for breaking up lines with fixed-length fields.

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).
