[MacPerl-AnyPerl] key=value lines hard wrap in input

Folks,

I have lines of input that begin with a key= and then the value. Since it
is from a file generated by a reporting system, it has an upper limit of
characters per line and it wraps. I'm wondering if anyone can shed light
on getting the wrapped line to go with the key. I know
there are three ways to set the input record separator, $/ --
newline(default);
""(paragraph mode); and 'undef'(file slurp mode). I'm wondering how
to implement.

In addition, after reading the perldsc.pod, I'm figuring on using a
hash with a subject array (the only field to repeat) as one of its
key=value items.

I'm looking for ideas. Thanks.

Paul
