Just for the fun of it, here's a way which translates your text into XML, then uses XML::Simple on the result: use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::Simple;
my $str = do { local $/=undef; <DATA> };
LOOP: {
for ($str) {
# Make start/end tags for current level
s#^(\w+)(.*?)(?=^[\w<]|\Z)#<$1>$2\n</$1>\n#smg;
# Process next level
s/^\t//mg or last LOOP;
}
redo LOOP;
}
my $xs = XML::Simple->new(suppressempty=>'');
# Add root element
my $href = $xs->XMLin("<root>$str</root>");
print Dumper($href);
__DATA__
abc
def
ghi
jkl
mno

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).
