another perl question

I have a question regarding bulding a hash from a file which has below pattern

I thought I could write something like this but clearly my syntax is way off

Code:
$/ = "\n\n";
$" = "\n";

open(FILE, file1) || die;

my %keymaster = ( );

while (<FILE>) {
     my $topinfo =~ m/^(yahoo).+\$1/;
     my $key1 =~ m/^keyinfo.+$/;
     ($keyinfo, $topinfo) = split;
     push(@{$keymaster{$keyinfo}}, $topinfo);
}

I am trying to come up with something like this when I dereference it,

keyinfo 1 yahoo yahoo1 yahoo2
keyinfo 2 yahoo yahoo yahoo
keyinfo 5 yahoo1 yahoo1 yahoo

but I am not sure about my syntax...

thanks for any help~ or pointers


-----------------file1----------------------
yahoo 123123123
somwething
something
keyinfo
something

yahoo1 123123123
something
keyinfo
something

yahoo
something
something
osomething
keyinfo
something

and so on

fnmatch(3C)															       fnmatch(3C)

NAME
fnmatch() - match filename patterns SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
performs pattern matching as described in regexp(5) under By default, the rule qualifications for filename expansion do not apply; i.e., periods (dots) and slashes are matched as ordinary characters. This default behavior can be modified by using the flags described below. The flag argument modifies the interpretation of pattern and string. If which is defined in is set in flag, a slash character in string must be explicitly matched by a slash in pattern; it cannot be matched by either the asterisk or question mark special characters or by a bracket expression. If is set in flag, a leading period must be explicitly matched. It will not be matched by a bracket expression, question mark or asterisk. By default, a period is leading if it is the first character in string. If is set in flag, a period is leading if it is the first charac- ter in string or immediately follows a slash. If is not set in flag, a backslash character in pattern followed by any other character matches that second character in string. In par- ticular, matches a backslash in string. If is set, a backslash character is treated as an ordinary character. If flag is zero, the slash character and the period are treated as regular characters. If flag has any other value, the result is unde- fined. RETURN VALUE
If string matches the pattern specified by pattern, returns zero. Otherwise, returns non-zero. EXAMPLE
The following excerpt uses to check each file in a directory against the pattern pattern = "*.c"; while(dp = readdir(dirp)){ if((fnmatch(pattern, dp->d_name,0)) == 0){ /* do processing for match */ ... } } AUTHOR
