If you use something like "\nrn" as input record separator (assigning this string to the $/ variable), you will be able to work with each group of lines in paragraph mode. Then, you only need to count the number of occurrences of "id-info" in each record (one way to do it is to use the s/// function on the id-info pattern in scalar context, as it will return the number of substitutions made). I will not elaborate more for the time being since you are not showing real input data nor really detailing the output you need.
Update 23:06 UTC: Oops, I did not see that's basically the solution proposed by NetWallah, whose code I had not tried to read before posting.

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).
