$value can be undefined here, the match on $data does not enforces a colon
and split then returns undef for $value, so
next if !defined($value) || $value eq '';

(maybe additionally warn on such cases to notice the user?)

maybe just do an ($key eq 'foo' || $key eq 'bar') here?

for above, see reply to 2/3
