Output checker setting variable to TRUE or FALSE

Hi All,
I'm trying to come up a way to check the output of some data i have. I need to be able to check for the order of the output and if its correct set a variable to false if it isnt.

Currently the data is in the below format, this is the value which should cause the variable be set to true.
Code:
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb

If the data is out of order (example below) then the variable should be set to FALSE. I then have a script that will send me a notification if the variable equals FALSE.

Code:
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb
  Flags: x              Service: aaa
  Flags: x              Service: bbb

The string after
Code:
Service:

should be able to be modified as i have a few different types of data to check.

Any help anyone could offer along with explaining would be great.

Thanks

NAME
App::Nopaste::Service - base class for nopaste services SYNOPSIS
package App::Nopaste::Service::Shadowcat; use base 'App::Nopaste::Service'; sub uri { "http://paste.scsys.co.uk/" } DESCRIPTION
"App::Nopaste::Service" defines a generic interface for uploading to nopaste sites. It provides a default interface to that of the POE Pastebot. METHODS
nopaste This is the outermost method called by App::Nopaste and other clients. You should not override this method, as it will (XXX: eventually) perform canonicalization of arguments (such as "lang") for you. run args -> (OK, message) This is the outermost method you should override. You'll be passed a hash of arguments. The only arguments you should pay attention to are: text The body of text to paste. desc A short (one-line) summary of the paste. nick The name of the person performing the paste. chan The IRC channel to which the paste belongs. lang The programming language of the body of text. private If false, the paste will be public (default). get mech, args This should "get" the form to paste using the provided WWW::Mechanize object. By default it does just that. See "uri" below. uri If you only need to call "mech->get(uri)" then you may define this method to provide the URI of the nopaste service. fill_form mech, args This should have the WWW::Mechanize fill in the form using the arguments, and submit it. return mech, args This should look at "WWW::Mechanize->content" to find the URI to the pasted text.
