You haven't stated what you want to do with the data once you have it. So I've written the following for both single item lookup and output in order, using the same set of data storage:
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($key, %hash, @order);
while (<DATA>) {
$key = substr($_,1,length($_)-2);
$hash{$key} = <DATA>.<DATA>.<DATA>;
push @order, $key;
}
# To look up a specific record:
$key = 'Record 3';
print "$key =>\n$hash{$key}\n";
# To output the records in order:
print "$_ =>\n$hash{$_}\n" for @order;
__DATA__
>Record 1
AGTCTAGTCAT
CATCATAAGAT
CATCAATCACA
>Record 2
ATGAACAGCAG
ATGAAGAATGG
ATAG
>Record 3
AGTCTAGTCAT
CATCATAAGAT
CATCAATCACA
>Record 4
ATGAACAGCAG
ATGAAGAATGG
ATAG

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
