Multi Line Matching- getting into csv

symgryph has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have some input like this:

user: myus44 [up] 
------------
 admin-state enabled 
 summary "Johnny Cash" 
 access-level group-defined 
 group mi-group  [up]

user: jar1543 [up] 
------------
 admin-state enabled 
 summary "Lara Croft" 
 access-level group-defined 
 group jar-head  [up]

user: myprivilegeduser [up]
-----------
admin-state enabled
access-level privileged

I have written the following program which seems to regex correctly, but getting things to 'print' correctly seems to require more than the naieve 'if' logic I am applying. Was wondering if someone could take a peek and suggest something better.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
while (<>) {
  if (/^user:/) {
    chomp();
    $uid=$_;
    $uid=~m/user:\s+(\S+)/;
    $uid=$1;
    #print "$uid,";
  }
 if (/summary/) {
   chomp();
   $summary=$_;
   $summary=~m/summary\s+\"(.+)\"/;
   $summary=$1;
   #print "$summary,";
  }  


  if (/access-level/) {
    chomp();
    $accesslevel=$_;
    $accesslevel=~m/access-level\s+(\S+)/;
    $accesslevel=$1;
    #print "$accesslevel,";
}
  if (/group\s+/)  {
    chomp ();
    $group=$_;
    $group=~m/group\s+(\S+)/;
    $group=$1;
    #print "$group";
  }
  print "$uid,$summary,$accesslevel,$group\n";
}

My hoped format was something like:

myuser,Johnny Cash,group-defined,migroup
myprivilegeduser,,privileged,,
[download]

With 'unused' things left as ,,'s.
