[HRPM] multiline match!!

[Collin Cusce]

Whoops! I should have read your question better. Here's my appended answer:
<code>
    $count = 1;
    $string =  "";
    @entries = ();
    @result = ();
    while($line = YOURFILE){
        if ($count % 2){
            $string =  "";
            $string .= $line;
        }else{
            push(@entries, $string);
        }
    $count++;
    }
    foreach $entry (@entries){
        ($date_id, $explanation)= split(/\n/, $entry);
        ($thisdate, $idstring) = split(/\s+/, $date_id);
        $thisid =~ /\d+/;
        $max = @result;
        @result[$max] = {
                "id" => $thisid,
                "date" => $thisdate,
                "explanation" => $explanation
       }
    }
</code>
I hope  this is what you were looking for...I know I this can't be the best
way to do this, but I'm too lazy to look for a better solution :-P .
(P.S.: This is untested...regard it as pseudo-code)

Sir Humpherey Applebee once said:
Well Minister, if you asked me for a straight answer then I shall say that,
as far as we can see, looking at it by and large, taking one time with
another, in terms of the average of departments, then in the final analysis
it is probably true to say that, at the end of the day, in general terms,
you would find, that, not to put too fine a point on it, there probably
wasn't very much in it one way or the other, as far as one can see, at this
stage.
