Welcome to the forum.

Not sure I understood your script to its entirety, but for the sorting you could make use of an awk feature. man awk:
Quote:
Multi-line records
Since mawk interprets RS as a regular expression, multi-line records are easy. Setting RS = "\n\n+", makes one or more blank lines separate records.
Applying this to your data sample, how close would this be:
Code:
awk '$1=$1' RS= FS="\n" OFS="\t" file | sort

finance::quote::yahoo::europe

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe(3pm)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe - Fetch quotes from Yahoo Europe

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;
	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   %info = $q->fetch("europe","UG.PA"); # Failover to other methods ok.
	   %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_europe","UG.PA"); # Use this module only.

DESCRIPTION

       This module fetches information from Yahoo Europe.  Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is
       one of the following:

	       PA - Paris
	       BC - Barcelona
	       BE - Berlin
	       BI - Bilbao
	       BR - Brussels
	       CO - Copenhagen
	       D  - Dusseldorf
	       F  - Frankfurt
	       H  - Hamburg
	       HA - Hanover
	       L  - London
	       MA - Madrid
	       MC - Madrid (M.C.)
	       MI - Milan
	       MU - Munich
	       O  - Oslo
	       ST - Stockholm
	       SG - Stuttgart
	       VA - Valence
	       VI - Vienna
	       DE - Xetra (was FX)

       This module provides both the "europe" and "yahoo_europe" methods.  The "europe" method should be used if failover methods are desirable.
       The "yahoo_europe" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe.

       This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Europe" to
       Finance::Quote->new().

       Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions.  See http://finance.uk.yahoo.com/ for more details.

SPECIFIC NOTES ON CERTAIN SYMBOLS

       Starting in November 2010, the Yahoo site didn't respond to ^DJI symbol retrieval. Use ^DJI.US instead.

LABELS RETURNED

       This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo.  See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these.  The
       currency label is also returned.

       Note however that div_date and ex_div have been removed by yahoo europe site
