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

Thanks for your time. I'm stuck on getting this data into some type of hash of hashes, or array of hashes. My efforts have been so weak, I can not put them here. This is what the data looks like: 

tt.exe
   Quotas                   start        finish
 ABC                          10            4
 def                           3            2
 ggg                           1            0
ww.exe
   Quotas                   start        finish
 ABC                         430            5
 def                          33           10
 ggg                          10            4
xx.exe
   Quotas                   start        finish
 ABC                           60          22
 def                           23           3
 ggg                           11          10

So I wanted the key to the hash to be the executable name, and the data to follow. I should ignore the line with Quotas start finish, that can be presumed. I have looked at many hash examples, and for some reason I am not getting it.
