Hi, Monks, See my below simple script. I got to get the data of the section content and I failed to do it when it comes to the multiple lines which are supposed:

DESCRIPTION = {
    UK BANK;
    UN BANK;
};
[download]

The section content is what between section name and section end.

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -sw

BEGIN {
        close STDERR and open STDERR, '>./STDERR' or die $!;
}
use Parse::RecDescent;
#use strict;
#use warnings;

$::RD_TRACE = 1;
$::RD_HINT  = 1;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
