You don't explain the context of the problem (what are the pieces of data representing, for example), but assuming that the numbers after the <code>58-xx-xxxx </code> can be ignored, you get something like this:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open(IN, '<', "cont.fil") or die "Cannot open cont.fil: $!\n";
my @fvalues; # Array, not a hash
while(<DATA>) { # Reading values from below __DATA__ section,
# change to <IN> for the data file.
if (/^(\S+)/) {
push @fvalues, $1;
}
}
foreach my $value (@fvalues) {
print "$value\n";
}
close(IN);
__DATA__
58-OA-A0125 1
58-OA-A0244 2
58-OA-A0264 3
58-ST-A0112 4
58-ST-A0179 5
</code>
