I am newbie to Perl. I need to parse a tab separated text file. For example:
From name To name Timestamp I nteraction
a b Dec 2 06:40:23 IST 2000 comment
c d Dec 1 10:40:23 IST 2001 like
e a Dec 1 16:03:01 IST 2000 follow
b c Dec 2 07:50:29 IST 2002 share
a c Dec 2 08:50:29 IST 2001 comment
c a Dec 11 12:40:23 IST 2008 like
e c Dec 2 07:50:29 IST 2000 like
c b Dec 11 12:40:23 IST 2008 follow
b a Dec 2 08:50:29 IST 2001 share
After parsing I need to create groups base upon users interaction. In this example
a<->b
b<->a
c<->a
a<->c
b<->c
c<->b
for this we can create one group as (a,b,c). and we need to display list of groups. I need some pointers on how to parse the file and form group? Constraint-> at least 3 user required for creating group. Interaction is nothing but some communication is done between two user. It does not matter of which communication

How can I parse a tab separated data file and group the extracted data in Perl
