I'm working on something similar, except the key/value pairs may span lines. e.g.
FOO: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
+eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim a
+d minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut ali
+quip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit
+in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excep
+teur sint occaecat cupidatat
BAR: 2012
Is there a way to make perl "explain" what the regex is doing so I can adapt this to work with my data? Also is there a way to do this without using the smart matching feature? We use old perl, a change isn't possible right now.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
