I love it when i write up complete crap about needing to check existance of
keys...
the following code will merrily suffice:
#########################
open I, "state.txt";
my %codes;
while (<I>) {
chomp; #remove newline
s/\s+//g; #remove white space
my @entry = split ':'; #split on :
push @{$codes{$entry[1]}}, $entry[0];
}
for (sort keys %codes) { print $_, " = ", join ',',@{$codes{$_}}, "\n" }
#########################
sorry about the confusion.

it
