You could use the Tie::File module for this which avoids the brute approach "era" mentioned. With Tie::File you treat a file like a
perl array, so if you find a pattern in a certain line you just use simple array indexing to go back one line in the file. See the Tie::File (a
perl core module) documentation for usage details.
