perl regex

[Trent Shipley]

Assume that ':' and ',' are reserved tokens.

Then each field-name has the form:
foo:  
# where foo is the field-name proper.  The important detail is non-blank 
printing characters terminated with ':'.

Also each datum has the form
: bar,
or possibly
:bar,
or even
:               bar,
# that is a datum can only be in an environment delimited by ':' followed by 
any amount of whitespace followed by data followed by ','.

A record has the form:

foo0: bar0, foo1: bar1, ... , fooN: barN\n

# remember to trim whitespace from left side of these fooS
,     fooX:
